Summary
On a recent plane ride home, a woman tapped me on the shoulder, slipped me a note, and shared with me about her documentary she was coming to Toronto to premiere. The documentary? Deconstructing Karen. The woman? Saira Rao. Today Saira and her Race2Dinner & Deconstructing Karen partner, Regina Jackson, join me to discuss the documentary, the dinners, the women and the whiteness. Discomfort, the goal, and why we need you.
