How to speak up against racism and sexism

<p>2020 has been an important reminder that racism, xenophobia, and sexism are still a systemic problem in our society. Some of us have been educating ourselves on what it means to be a good ally and explored being uncomfortable with our inherent privilege, others have remained silent.</p><p>On this week's episode, Thamina is talking to her good friend <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/susiehxu/">Susie Xu,</a> Program Manager at Yext, who has always been very outspoken on matters of equality, which stems from her experience as an East Asian-American woman. Susie vulnerably shares her experiences with subversive, hurtful racism that makes her feel like a perpetual foreigner in her own country. We also explore the concept of "silence is violence", the complexity of cultures and why Susie sometimes chooses to bark at men.</p><p>Being a minority and always carrying the torch in the fight again discrimination can be exhausting, especially when intersectionality comes into play. Susie shows us how to be a true role model and call people out.</p><p>#BlackLivesMatter</p>
