KatVH

We chat about  growing up in Brooklyn, at the time the ‘melting pot of the world’,  in a Caribbean family - food (smells, markets, street food, flavours, colours, spices), music, high school and family.

‘We are not so different – maybe on the outside, not on the inside’ says Kat.

We talk about racism – where it starts, where it is rooted and ways to deal with it. We talk about white privilege, challenges of living on the Sunshine Coast, truth, freedom, hair and body image. Lots of things to listen to and think about in this little podcast. Enjoy.
