Putting on a Coat of Colours
Episode 14 - The Water We Swim In
For this third episode with Pam, Pat, and Roger, we hear them discuss how being a part of Coat of Colours has given them a nearer understanding of the day-to-day and system issues that their Black siblings experience. Even as they start to participate in more, they discover that they need to continue to learn how to de-center whiteness. They find deeper lessons in proximity that they couldn’t learn from a book. They find that empowerment leads to service and action.
Beautifully, this group of white allies see that Coat of Colours is a bright light, that is perhaps hidden under a bushel, and they themselves as the ones that are responsible for sharing Coat of Colours with their white siblings in the church and the community
