Listen "Pretty Privilege and the Psyche of Racism"
Episode Synopsis
Brandi Grayson returns to the mic after a break, dissecting the insidious nature of racism and the psyche behind it, drawing on insights from Maya Angelou and Toni Morrison. She challenges the notion of ‘pretty privilege,’ exposing the dark side of being objectified and the societal blame game. Brandi highlights the hypocrisy in public fundraising, as a woman who racially abused a child raises $700,000, while systemic racial issues remain unaddressed.

Through personal anecdotes and community updates, Brandi weaves a narrative of resistance, resilience, and the stark realities of race and privilege.
