Summary

Hi, everyone! Today, I’m bringing on one of my best friends, Briana Hauser Gonzalez, to talk about one of the biggest issues in our community: colorism. Briana has been open about how her children have faced this type of discrimination, so I wanted to hear more about it and talk about what we can do to stop it from happening.
