THE INTERVIEW
This week we’re bringing back an interview we had with Rachel Cargle in December of 2018 because it is incredibly relevant to things that are happening in our world today. She has done an amazing job building a platform and resources for people, she raises money for marginalized communities, and she hosts The Great Unlearn on Patreon. We’ve talked about white fragility, white supremacy, allyship, and the issue of race, and these are all things that need to be brought back to the forefront. Rachel is doing so much to show us how to engage with white supremacy, how we as white people play a huge role in the race conversations going on, and how we can be better to support anti-racism. We need to work together against the system that has created this huge rift in society. We have so much power, we need to use that power for good.
We also talk about:
- Deciding to start teaching what she was learning
- Her college experience
- Where to start in order to make a difference
- Social media posting being taken down
- Rachel answers questions from Almost 30 Nation
- Example of modern-day colonization
- What Rachel is excited about

[…] Yesterday, I listened to Rachel Cargle‘s episode on the Almost 30 podcast. The episode was from 2018 but Krista and Lindsey from Almost 30 re-ran it this week, given everything that’s happening. It goes to show that where we were in December 2018, is the same place we are in today, more than a year later. Granted, I know we won’t change society, racism, the systems, in one year, and that it will take time. But I do know that we must try. Because the longer we wait, and the longer we remain silent, the more innocent black lives will be lost. I definitely recommend listening to this Almost 30 podcast episode. […]
