“That was such a freeing thing to realize, oh, wait a minute, this isn’t mine to hold. This isn’t mine to carry.”-Ally Henny
In this episode of Untangled Faith, Ally Henny and Amy Fritz discuss the burden of responsibility placed on people of color in predominantly white spaces, including the myth of the model minority.
In this episode, we talk about-
- The implication of model minority narrative and the weight they impose on individuals
- Strengthening your voice against injustice and acknowledging your capacity for change.
- The inefficacy of hollow demonstrations within racial justice theatre.
- Deciding to actively oppose hate speech and racist rhetoric in politics.
