When Doni Aldine interviewed Robin DiAngelo, the author of White Fragility, for her Magazine, Culturs, Robin posed a question to Doni. "Does the problem of white fragility and supremacy apply to the globally mobile, international community?" At first, Doni answered, "It's different."" There was a long pause and then Robin responded, "I think it's the same." That moment led Doni on a nine month journey of introspection, research and critical analysis of the the expat, third culture, globally mobile world. In this podcast, we discuss some of the ideas she has been exploring and the stories featured in Culturs Magazine's lates issue, "It's Time to Change."
We use the following terms in this podcast:
Doni (Dah-knee) Aldine's Bio: A globally mobile Afro-Latina and first-generation North American who, by age 19, lived in & identified with seven cultures on five continents. Aldine is passionate about creating community for cross-cultural populations. She has presented around the globe as a Keynote, at conferences, universities & in media as a lifestyle expert focused on entrepreneurship, marketing & cross-cultural identity. With this background, she developed university curricula for global culture identity.

About Culturs: Culturs celebrates cross-cultural and intersectional identity: Because everyone should feel like they matter.
Our content focus is 21st Century Diversity (a culturally fluid outlook that embodies a vision of the world that fast is becoming our future). We reach 1.26 million people through a print magazine distributed in Barnes and Noble, Whole Foods, Books-a-Million, Sprouts, and independent bookstores; a digital magazine, an online magazine, mobile publication, email list of 500,000, and the soon-to-launch CultursTV with more than 220 videos on Youtube.
The missing "e" in Cultur[e]s represents the often-hidden diversities of Culturs’ audience. Our content sits at the intersection of social justice, geographic mobility, and people of color and the publication was founded to give voice to immigrants, refugees, intersectional identities (multiethnic, multiracial, multicultural), and other culturally-fluid underserved populations.
We do this by producing lifestyle content that celebrates the very fluidity that most people ignore -- the cultural fluidity that represents the voice of the future -- and brings that into the mainstream.
