10 Seconds To Air : How to Talk About Racism and Get Comfortable With Uncomfortable Topics with Sara Blanchard
SHOW NOTES
Talking about race, identity, or politics used to be a step toward progress. Lately, it can feel like a landmine. How do we navigate that shift without staying silent—or getting canceled? In this episode, Alita Guillen sits down with Sara Blanchard: TEDx speaker, life coach, co-author of Dear White Women: Let's Get (Un)comfortable Talking About Racism, and co-host of the podcast What Do You Mean By That?
Together, they unpack what it means to stay in difficult conversations when everything in our culture tells us to opt out. Sara shares why it’s not about being perfect—it’s about being present. She talks about her journey from Wall Street to social change, how her multiracial identity shaped her worldview, and why white women have a critical role to play in building a more inclusive future.
This episode is a practical guide for anyone who wants to engage—but doesn’t know where to start. From questions to ask yourself, to how to respond when things get uncomfortable, Sara offers the tools we all need to show up better for one another.
