Listen "NOW YOU KNOW: The Untold Burden of Gen X — Racism, Family, and the “Sign of the Times"

Episode Synopsis

This 20-minute audio reflection pulls back the curtain on my IN THE KNOW video “Sign of the Times.” I share personal insights about the realities Gen X faced growing up between parents divided by the Jim Crow experience. For many White Gen Xers, that meant dealing with relatives whose biases still lingered. For Black Gen Xers, it meant hearing stories of survival and injustice at the dinner table. In this behind-the-scenes conversation, I talk about how those family histories shaped our generation’s silence, empathy, and evolution.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/in-the-know-with-tony-reeves--5596987/support.
