The Only One in the Room: Navigating Predominantly White Spaces | Black Women Over 60

Leslie shares a recent experience of being the only Black person at two separate events—a Staten Island sports bar and a New Jersey fundraiser with over 300 attendees. This prompts a revealing conversation about racial segregation in America and the imbalance of cultural immersion between white and Black Americans. • Black Americans constantly "swim in white waters" while white Americans rarely need to navigate Black spaces • The myth of equivalence in self-segregation ignores power dynamics and demographic realities • White people with only one Black friend often make that person the spokesperson for all Black people • Discomfort in conversations about race should be embraced rather than avoided as it's where growth happens • Black professionals often face different expectations and must "over-perform" to receive equal respect • Discomfort in conversations about race should be embraced rather than avoided as it's where growth happens References mentioned in this episode: A Framework Towards Repair: https://onbeing.org/programs/robin-di...
