As people of color, we will no longer be eRaced!

It's hard to stay encouraged, sane, and productive when on countless occasions, despite your education, socio-economic status, accomplishments and more, you are made to feel invisible, diminished because of skin color or simply put, eRaced.

Join our hosts, Collette Bowers Zinn and Lisa Johnson, two Black moms bonded by bluntness, tenacity and an unwavering commitment to creating communities of support particularly during the K-12 experience, as they interview guests and discuss the many nuances of being eRaced.

Whether it's exploring where the intersections of education, race, and culture collide, dissecting inter-racial issues, or shining a light on examples of positive movement, eRaced will help you navigate and thrive (despite being marginalized).
