S4 EP21: Being Ethnically Ambiguous At Work
Code Switch's Shereen Marisol Meraji and Manoush have a frank conversation about where they fit into today’s movement for diversity and inclusion.
As co-host of NPR's Code Switch, Shereen Marisol Meraji combines groundbreaking reporting on race and culture with her own personal experience as a half-Puerto Rican, half-Persian American. On this episode, she and Manoush discuss why the push for inclusion makes some people uncomfortable and how the diversity discussion can get even more delicate when people don't clearly identify as white or black---like Manoush, who only recently realized her co-workers considered her a woman of color.
Season 4 of ZigZag is examining the current culture ofbusiness and work, figuring out what needs to change, and experimentingwith new ways to do it.
