Race: Our Microaggression Stories

Do It For The Story

This week, Morgan and Stacey dive into the topic of microaggressions, sharing their personal experiences as biracial black women.

They discuss the definition of microaggressions, which are subtle, indirect, or unintentional discriminatory statements or actions against marginalized groups. The sisters take an aggregate of common microaggressions and reflect on their own stories and recount encounters with microaggressions, including comments about being 'well-spoken', the many questions about their hair and the challenges of navigating racial identity in predominantly white spaces.

They emphasize the importance of storytelling in understanding and addressing these issues, aiming to provide context and healing through their narratives. They also touch on the significance of recognizing and confronting microaggressions in everyday interactions, encouraging listeners to be more aware and supportive of marginalized voices.
