Putting on a Coat of Colours
Do I Have Something to Say?
In part one of this conversation, we turn the microphone around on the producer of the podcast. Coat of Colours member Darnell sits down with Thomas to ask about what he’s seen and heard from the interviews so far and what he sees as a straight, white ally who is in an interracial marriage. And how being noticed as a marginalized person, even when the comment is meant as a compliment, is still awkward and maybe means more to the one who is doing the noticing.
We also want to apologize for how badly Tom’s office chair needs a spray of WD-40. His squeaky chair is a bit noisy.
