This is the second of three episodes on Identity and this fortnight, we’re looking at the origins of the terms Woke and Cancel Culture, as well as discussing how we, over our lives, acquire our individual identities.
Reminder that Eggshells is now released fortnightly! If you miss us on the week off, why not go to the website and sign up for our newsletter? www.theeggshellspodcast.com
Please kindly note (for all episodes but this one especially): in Eggshells, we aim to include something for everyone. However, we’re here talking about identity as cisgendered, white, middle class, non-disabled females. If your identities are different from ours we hope you’ll still get something from this, but we understand we won’t have travelled far enough outside our own lens. We’re pleased to welcome guests who have other identities and we may make more episodes, with more guests, on this topic.
