14. Questioning Racial Identity with Ruth Fujino (S1 E14)
In this episode of Broadening the Narrative, I talked with my dear friend of a decade Ruth Fujino. We discussed Ruth’s ongoing journey in questioning her racial identity and what it means for her. She talked about the model minority myth, microaggressions, tokenism, dismantling white supremacy, and resisting anti-Blackness. I hope that if you know and love me you can engage with the Broadening the Narrative blog, social media accounts, and podcast, as well as any recommended resources. Then, you can share with people who know and love you, and little by little, person by person, we can broaden the narrative.
