Che has a spirited conversation with Entrepreneur, Artist and Clothing Designer Troy Jackson about perception, white privilege and growing up in Nova Scotia. Troy shares how activism translates into building a clothing brand inspired by his son and how we need to imagine society as it could be and stop making assumptions about people based on what they look like and how the deaths of black men by police triggered old experiences. He describes his encounters with racism as a black, Muslim gay man in a small town and his experience with harassment on Vancouver's streets with a group of white supremacists. And despite those experiences, Troy has relied on a tradition of storytelling, music and humour to lift him out of the pain of racism. He has found empowerment in building his own business. He is creating clothing that is ethical, local and sustainable. In the future, clothing will be more locally made instead of being based on child labour. He is creating a template for his son.
