In the final episode of BreakYourBubble for this past semester, we wanted to try something a little different. BreakYourBubble is all about learning from people, and we thought a great idea would about putting out podcasts that with voices from identities that have been traditionally marginalized. Instead of focusing on politics, as we have in past episodes, this series aims to highlight the lived experiences of minorities in our community. Our first episode in this series has Leadra Reeves ('24), Shailyn Castro ('24) and Kendra Ezeama ('24), three Black women here at Brown, share their personal anecdotes on microaggressions and racism they’ve encountered.
How do you define microaggressions? What are some examples of microaggressions you've experienced here at Brown? How do you think affirmative action has impacted you and how you and others view yourself? How does medical racism affect Black women? Tune in to this thought-provoking discussion on Anchor!
