Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 57!

Today, I’m talking to my longtime friend Leo Cummings about what white allyship can look like as we all wake up to the racial injustices perpetuated against Black people in our world today. I know there may be some of you who don’t understand the Black Lives Matter movement, who don’t see how racism still exists today, or don’t realize how powerful your words… or your silence… can be when it comes to today’s current events. I hope you’ll listen to this episode with open ears and an open heart.

Episode 57 topics: 

  • What white women can do to support Black men

  • What it’s like as a Black man growing up with mostly white friends in the South

  • Why it’s important for white people to see color

  • How to our own anti-racist work and avoid burdening our Black friends with white guilt

To support Leo and thank him for his generosity in sharing his wisdom and experiences, make sure you check out Black Dude White Dude podcast, especially the episode In Light of George Floyd.
