Episode notes

"Our childhood was kind of framed with violence and neglect and struggle. But also alongside that there were kind of riches in terms of freedom, art, music, friendships...I think my origin story is a lot about holding two truths or multiple truths - dualities, juxtaposition." 

In this distilled episode, Penny Rabiger explores her origin story, as the child of a Jewish mother in North London, and how she navigates whiteness in her DEI work.
