When WYTE People Mean Well

Join hosts Lisa and Shannon as they discuss the experiences and nuances of well-intentioned white people, affectionately referred to as "three dubs." They explore historical examples where good intentions sometimes missed the mark, from abolitionists focusing on freedom over equality to suffragettes opposing Black men's right to vote. The hosts categorize different types of well-intentioned white people they've encountered, sharing personal stories that resonate with the African American community. They navigate encounters with hair-touching and well-meaning comments, offering witty comebacks and educational moments. Through their lively conversation, Lisa and Shannon create a relatable and empowering space for African Americans to engage with these experiences and find humor and strength in navigating interactions with three dubs.
