Episode 28: Colorism
With the Meghan Markle & Prince Harry Oprah interview, this and a number of important, not so talked about issues were thrust into the forefront of popular conversation. Colorism is global, it affects every place that has been colonized (and probably more since American culture and entertainment are so pervasive), and like many systems of oppression it is self perpetuating.
