I’m thrilled to visit today with a long time friend and photography mentor, Bob Parrish. Bob has all the privileges a white man typically has, and he has taken it upon himself to learn more about what less privileged people deal with on a regular basis and what he can do to affect change in dismantling racism and prejudice.

Some years ago, he became aware of his whiteness and privilege, read many books, and actually took a class on how things got to be the way they are. He now uses his “superpower” in position and voice to include as many different people as possible in everything he does. In this episode we’ll cover quite a lot including religion, inviting neighbors to dinner, interracial marriage, and much more.

Mentioned in this episode:
