EP 129: Appreciation or Appropriation? #KPop Tings

The world loves Black culture, but not Black people, a statement that I feel is ringing true now more than ever. 
Hey, y’all, it’s Marley (the editor). I often speak about K-Pop and the frustrations of witnessing and constantly having to battle cultural appropriation, so I figured at the Rooted Us Unconference in NYC this year, why not have the conversation again? 

I hope that this overview paired with my thoughts and tips on how to combat such a subtle kind of racism/microaggression are helpful in getting you thinking about the topic, or taking a deeper dive, because there is no such thing as “enough work” being done around it. 

“I’m working on a presentation and would like to speak with adults and children who have experienced domestic violence and are now using Self-directed education and/or conscious parenting. Interested parties can email me at [email protected] (no “m”). They can remain anonymous.”
