 Hi, my name is Vanitha Srivastava and I'm hosting a new podcast from The Conversation. It's called Don't Call Me Resilient. When you hear the word resilient, you might think that's a good thing. But calling us resilient can also cover up the real tragedies of racism. Don't call us resilient as COVID-19 disproportionately harms black and brown and poor communities. When police kill black and indigenous men and women in our streets and in their homes. And many indigenous communities are left to boil their water because it's unsafe to drink. Instead of calling people resilient, let's instead look at solutions for those things we should not have to be resilient for. That is what we'll do on this podcast. Find Don't Call Me Resilient at TheConversation.com or wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts. Looking forward to our conversations. I am Vanitha and please Don't Call Me Resilient.
