This week we rant a bit on a topic that can unknowingly be the source of annoyance, pain, and frustration for many racialized people. We highlight the ways white women, along with the rest of us who hold power and privilege over others, can be better at being uncomfortable when faced with the ways that we unintentionally oppress others. This week we ask, Do the Kids Know About White Female Fragility?

As always, thank you for continuing to support us with your dollars and if there's a topic you'd like covered on the show, send us a message.

Until next week... stay in the know!

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!
