Let's Talk About Colorism - with Catherine Volcy

On this week's episode, I sat down with Catherine Volcy to talk about colorism, taking personal experiences, viewpoints, and examples of where we have seen it to have this conversation. Throughout the episode, Catherine and I talked about the root of colorism and where it stemmed from, why and in what ways has the black community enabled colorism to continue and become such a large issue, where we see colorism in media and entertainment, and so much more. In one part of the episode, we talked about a phrase that has been going around recently, "Light skins only experience racism, dark skins experience both racism and colorism”, and we talked about the truth that holds and the ways it also has a few flaws. What do you think about this phrase? Head over to The Melanin Sound Wave Instagram and let us know your opinion!

Catherine gave us a resource we should all look into to learn more about the topic!
