140 - Cultural appropriation vs. appreciation with Dr. Neal Lester - a podcast by Seed & Sew

Hey there, villagers! Welcome to episode 140 of Voices of Your Village! Today I got to interview Dr. Neal Lester, a professor of English at Arizona State University who studies African American Literature and Culture. I wanted to dive into conversation with Dr. Lester about cultural appropriation vs appreciation. This was a topic I personally had a lot of questions about and you villagers submitted a lot of questions about as well. In addition to addressing this topic as we move toward Thanksgiving and Halloween, I also find it to be important for us to dive into in our day to day life. Dr. Lester brought up so many crucial ways for us to consider and be mindful of cultural appropriation in our everyday life. This is an ongoing process. It isn’t something where you are going to have one conversation with a kid and it is going to be done and over with. 
 I learned a lot from this conversation and I am really jazzed to bring it to your ears today. Let’s dive in!
