Let's Talk About It: Whatever "It" Is
Welcome to "Let’s Talk About It", where we talk about the “its” that no one wants to talk about. Have you ever been in a situation where you have a certain set of thoughts, feelings, or questions but you think you are the only one? That can be an isolating place to be. But oh what joy when someone comes along and says something that shows they are in a similar headspace. Suddenly, you feel a little less lonely. Join hosts Paula and Olejuru as they hold space for these kinds of conversations.

Episode 6
This is the 3rd episode of our Black History Month series. This week, Olejuru and Paula speak with Kayla, a sociology major at Mount Royal University and Olejuru's friend. Kayla is a lover of all things sports, kids, and learning about cultural diversity. Kayla tells us what she has learned on her journey to become more educated on issues of race, discrimination, and white privilege. In this open and honest conversation, we dive into the importance of not only educating ourselves, but being willing to initiate conversations on race, and then patiently listen with humility.
