Wazzam Self-Aware friends! This week, The Self-Aware Millennial welcomes J.Mix's college mate, Kavin J., to the studio to discuss their harboring grievances about being born and raised in the New Orleans metro area, and growing up in the midst of the city's gentrification. Kavin airs out his concerns with white folk's constant eagerness to be inclusive amongst other cultures without doing the proper research and/or gaining that culture's respect first. Things discussed: "Transplant" generalizations, "woke" white people, white wedding second lines, melting gumbo pot/evolution analogies, Renaming of gentrified neighborhoods, and so so so much more!
