Summary

Humor can be a powerful tool for talking about uncomfortable things. It sometimes allows us to cut closer to the emotional truth of an issue, or stay in conversation about it longer. W. Kamau Bell and Kate Schatz have embraced humor to combat racism (yes, you read that right) in their new project: DO THE WORK!: An anti-racist activity book. They join host Jessi Hempel for a frank and funny conversation about doing more to build a better world for everyone. Follow W. Kamau Bell and Kate Schatz on LinkedIn and check out the activity book here. Follow Jessi Hempel on LinkedIn and order her debut memoir here.
