Naked Conversations: Race, Culture, & Beyond

By: Sage B. Hobbs | Naked Conversations
  • Summary

  • This show is a collection of real, honest, and sometimes messy conversations between two friends. We’ll explore racism, antiracism, interracial friendship, activism, books, films, and more through our different lived experiences. We’ll offer questions and actions to help you go deeper into your exploration of race & culture, find your own inner disruptor, and be a part of the solution. Occasionally, we’ll bring you interviews with others who are experts in this work so we can learn together and do better.

  • S8E6: Book Bans in Schools: The What and The Why
    Oct 11 2023

    Book bans are increasing at a rapid pace in school districts around the United States. What’s really going on here? 

    Today we are unpacking the motivations for book banning, which books are being banned, and what this means for our communities moving forward. We dive into the challenges of navigating content ‘appropriateness’ as a parent, and the role that fear can play in our decision making. 

    Our homework for you is to research which books are banned in your own state. You might be surprized what you find! 

     

    Listen to hear us talking about:

    • What content would scare me as a parent, for my kids to have access to?

    • Factoring in age appropriateness 

    • Why we need to hear marginalized voices in literature

    • The power of a concerned parent 

    • Why do we read? What do we get from books?
