TFT - Anti-Blackness

In this episode of Tejana Feminist Talks, Leslie discusses all things anti-Blackness. She begins by talking about what it is, providing examples, and then discusses her own upbringing and experiences of anti-Blackness. Finally, Leslie offers an exercise to interrogate your own anti-Black/racist ideas. If you are interested in continuing this conversation, please follow the TFT podcast on IG: @tftalkspodcast and her own personal IG @tejanafeminist.
