013: Voicing the Silence: The Biracial Perspective with Chiara Randall

Send a text

Today on the Clever Angle we are continuing the mini series on raising black voices during the national Black Lives Matter movement. I sit down with lifelong friend, Chiara Randall as we discuss what it has been like growing up as a biracial woman in the South.The purpose of this mini series is to share black experiences particularly based in Arkansas, USA in order to continue educating listeners on the continued effects of slavery and racism on black Americans even today. Our guest, Chiara Randall, shares compelling and moving stories of what its like to be in the shoes of a "mixed woman in 2020, and the obstacles that she has faced. We encourage you as a listener to keep an open mind and listen to voices that are often silenced. Voicing the silence is about empowering voices and demanding change- asking our friends and family to consider how systemic racism impacts individuals (your friends of color, family members of color, church members of color, coworkers of color, neighbors of color) in their daily lives.  

Topics include:

• 13th documentary 
• World view as a biracial person 
• Struggles of being biracial 
• Fitting in as a biracial person 
• Raising biracial children
• Prejudices in the community (and family)
• Friends and family 
• Relationship with the police  
• and so much more. 

Our hope is to spur empathy and to know that love is greater than hate.

WARNING: the N word is used once in this episode while the retelling of a racial slur so be advised. 

This mini series is currently a break in our normal episodes sharing about career pursuits as we recognize the urgency and power of raising voices for justice during this time. Thank you for listening and understanding. The end date of the mini series is to be determined. We will continue speaking as the need arises. If you think you have a clever angle or perspective on this movement and these urgent matters- reach out about how your story can be featured on the show.
