I feel like, maybe, that there are other white folk and maybe non-white folk that can see a little bit of their experience, my experience and theirs, and potentially just share my thinking and my understanding and my perspective began to change over time.
Imagine walking through life with the labels others have given you. Bonnie Violet, host of 'A Queer Chaplain', takes listeners on a candid walk through her personal encounters with whiteness. Growing up in a small Idaho town, Bonnie was often called 'Casper' due to her fair skin and white hair. These early experiences set the stage for a lifelong journey of understanding race and identity.
In this episode, she shares stories from her childhood and reflects on how moving to a diverse city challenged her perceptions. One poignant moment involves a family dish with a racial slur in its name, prompting Bonnie to question the language and assumptions around race. Her narrative is raw and thought-provoking, making it essential listening for anyone wanting to explore their own relationship with whiteness.
Join Bonnie as she navigates the complexities of race, identity, and the importance of challenging ingrained beliefs.
