Saira Rao

<p>Joining us this week on the Radicals &amp; Revolutionaries Lab is Saira Rao, co-founder of <a href="www.race2dinner.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Race2Dinner</a> and <a href="www.havenmedia.org " rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Haven Media</a>. Our host, Jillian Foster, speaks with Saira about her unyielding work attempting to educate white women. She created Haven Media, a community-based in abolition and liberation for BIPOC women, and Race2Dinner, a dinner event where white women talk about their complicity in upholding white supremacy and keeping Black and brown women down. This episode digs into that and more as Saira shares her thoughts on white perfectionism, intersections of substance and process, setting healthy boundaries in the face of capitalism, and critical race theory in our schools. This conversation and Saira’s work remind white women that anti-racism work can’t possibly begin until you start dismantling internal misogyny and whiteness. Anti-racism work can’t start until you love yourself.</p><br><p><strong>Connect with Saira:</strong></p><p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/sairasameerarao" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@sairasameerarao</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sairarao" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@sairarao</a></p><p>Website: <a href="http://www.race2dinner.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.race2dinner.com</a>, <a href="http://www.havenmedia.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.havenmedia.org</a>&nbsp;</p><br><p>Join our movement for radically authentic, intentional, interconnected feminism inside <a href="https://www.continuumcollective.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Continuum Collective</a>.</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
