EPISODE 2
----------
A conversation between Jamie and Marcelese around the function of double identity that being able to code-switch and adapt provides, how the manifestation of "heroes" and positions of power are double-edged, and what comics/media explore some of the social intersections of being a POC with abilities. Black people are made to endure much like fictional characters, their pain regarded as only description even though the reality is much darker than what many "know" to be true. What are the ramifications being seen as superhuman? Let's talk about it!
