E15: "I Don’t Believe a Word That’s Coming Out of Your Mouth” - Christine Saxman

At a conference on race, Christine Saxman, a White woman, faced a tough moment when another attendee, who was Black, questioned her intentions and efforts. How did she respond? Saxman, who co-authored Being White Today: A Roadmap for a Positive Anti-racist Life, shares how this conversation sparked deeper self-awareness and shaped her path as a racial justice and equity advocate. We’d love to hear about an Uncomfy moment you’ve experienced. Can you think of a time when you felt your perspective or worldview challenged and instead of getting defensive or bailing out, you chose to lean into the discomfort and stick with it – and you’re glad you did?
