Summary

On this week’s episode of #TheFriendZone, we discuss whether or not upward mobility is an illusion. Can you really ever “make it” in a system not designed for you? In a system that rewards your ability to assimilate and comply. Playing the game. Selling out. Respectability politics. Survivor’s Guilt. We share our perspectives and experiences.
