S. S. Roller Derby Epsiode 6 - Roller Derby & Racism
Episode 6
Monday, 22 October, 2018
Let's talk about...racism in roller derby! This may not sound like your idea of a good time, but the thing is, it's very necessary. This episode is largely directed at our fellow white folks within the sport, but may be interesting and/or useful to anyone looking to build a better roller derby (and world). This is just the start of a conversation, by the way, as we look to bring in more diverse voices and ideas to the podcast, in the service of 1) white folks doing real, intentional, anti-racist work within their teams, leagues, and communities, and 2) all of us becoming better friends, humans, advocates, etc. in the effort to dismantle all of the nasty isms that plague our society. Easy peasy, right? ;) We aimed to make this episode chalk-full of real life, accessible resources for anyone looking to educate themselves and/or their leagues, too. Below the timestamps, you'll find a list of handy dandy links, book titles, and more to dig into (and that are referenced in the episode). We also open and close the show with some fun WFTDA Champs news and speculation, what's making us happy this week, where the heck we've been this year, and more. As always, if you have questions, comments, or constructive criticism for us (we ain't perfect) please holler via email or social medias: ssderbypodcast@gmail.com / Twitter / Facebook.
