In Episode 5, Kiki and Amy get really real about our younger selves: How much we didn’t know coming from white privilege (even housing-project white privilege in Kiki's case), and how much we’re still learning as straight, white, educated, MN women who don't want to be "Karen." Come join us in our blanket fort, where we broach scary topics nobody wants to talk about but everyone should at least think about: Poverty, xenophobia, racism, shame, bullying, and everything in between.
Note from Kiki: My memory did not do justice to the '93 Corps TFA teachers (the corps I was supposed to be in instead of the '94 Corps): I'm happy to say I'm FB friends with at least two TFA teachers (who also completed 2-3 yrs, one even being named Teacher of the Year), as well as with two additional colleagues, one still teaching at the school!
Here's what people are saying:
"An interesting glimpse into the making of a podcast. Amy is not a passive bystander/interviewer... It intrigued me [both as a] discussion and the creative choice to include it as a prelude to Kiki's Teach for America story, which was excellent as usual." — Bonnie M.
"This was amazing. What a conversation, about some of the hardest personal experiences." —Bahman B.
