When JD Mass’s parents had children, they wanted to raise their kids surrounded by Black culture and intentionally be anti-racist. JD grew up with predominantly Black friends and wanted to understand the roots of racism that he saw. From working with Nelly, to finding an accepting community in Israel, JD shares about many life experiences in this episode including more on his book “Race for What?” and his podcast “Same Difference.” Connect with JD:https://samedifference.lifehttps://www.instagram.com/raceforwhat/https://www.tiktok.com/@drjdmass Donate to the podcast: https://ko-fi.com/introducingmepodcast Want to share your story and be a guest?
