You probably already know that the term "BIPOC" is an acronym for Black, Indigenous, and people of colour. But did you know that this is a contested term among BIPOCs? This week, Prakash and Kristen dive deep into where this term comes from, why its gotten so popular, and why exactly it conjures so much controversy.

Do The Kids Know? is a series of conversations between friends, Prakash and Kristen, where we challenge our understanding of contemporary media, popular culture, and what it means to live as racialized millennials in KKKanada (That’s Canada spelled with three K’s) 

Our goal for this series is to have frank discussions about the stories and nuances missed by sensationalist media as well as to uncover the ways in which white supremacy, capitalism, and colonialism is shaping our movements and behaviours. 

Keep tuning in to be a part of the conversation… don’t be a kid who doesn’t know!
