This week’s Race + Power newsletter looks at the pain and cost of exclusion. We feature an article from our current magazine by Kad Smith in which he expands on the typical notions of imposter syndrome to include how it shows up in “woke” culture as well. Our latest Tiny Spark podcast talks with Kalia Abiade and Arij Mikati about new data on how Muslims are represented in US culture. Irving Zavaleta-Jimenez shares the challenges of professional development for a queer Latinx professional. Finally, Kathryn Young and Myron Anderson detail the microaggressions faced by women of color in higher education. These pieces reveal that, though we live in a time of pervasive social change, we still have so much work to do.
