Hey peoples! Racism still exists and Alaska is not exempt despite what people may say or believe. In this episode, Alyssa Quintyne joins me to talk about racism, how it impacts Alaskans, lateral violence, and oppression olympics.

We realized that we forgot to thank Alyssa for joining us for this important discussion while recording, and while this isn't the same, we wanted to make sure that we publicly thanks her for taking the time and labor to share her knowledge, personal stories, and information to help us work towards making Alaska more inclusive and equitable. She went above and beyond for all of us and we are grateful.

Here are the articles that Alyssa Quintyne mentioned in the episode:

The Danger of Oppression Olympics

The Intersectionality Wars
