Episode description

"colorism is a social system. It permeates all facets of society and culture. And what it is, essentially, is a social hierarchy or a stratification, where people with lighter skin tones are at the top of the hierarchy, especially if…their light skin coincides with things like straighter hair or lighter eye colors. And people with darker skin tones and kinkier hair textures, broader features, are relegated and marginalized to the bottom of the hierarchy…and it depends on your gender, your socioeconomic class, more or less." - Dr. Sarah L Webb in the Forbes Magazine. Dr. Sarah L Webb and I discuss the origin of colorism, its consequences, how to heal from it, what a day without colorism would look like and more. 0:00 - 10:15 What is colorism? 10:15 - 17:02 What is the root of colorism? 17:02 - 33:51 Colorism hierarchies: Who leads the conversation? 33:51 - End Colorism Healing!
