BLM: How to Speak Truth to Power? // Lorene Cary: Part 3 of 3
Channel: CJ Liu
Date: 2021-04-27

C.J. Liu interviews Lorene Cary about her book "Ladysitting: My Year with Nana at the End of her Century". Lorene shares the "people pleasing" that she has done throughout her life to "fit in" and be liked. Her private school education and carefully choreographed pedigree allowed her the ability to get the same educational advantages that white American's experienced.  She learned how to assimilate and succeed in the American experience. It's through the writing process that Lorene has been able to express her individual voice and what she learned. She beautifully describes the form (writing) as a container to purely hold the energy (joy, sadness). It is keeping this form that she maintains the power of her unique experience. Lorene describes her generation and how both her sister and she (Carole Hopson) have followed their passions and act as activists to share their experience as Black Americans.
