Powers Through... Racism

In this episode, I am in conversation with Tianna Jarrett-Williams of Tianna J Williams Photography. We discuss all things racism - including the differences and similarities between racism in the US vs the UK. We also talk about Anti-Blackness in the Black Community, photography, and even soul food. This conversation is between two mothers, speaking candidly and openly. There are some baby cries in the background.
