Cultural appropriation happens more often than in should. And inappropriate use of a culture not your own happens even more often. Both of these practices are harmful, and in this episode I’m walking you through clear examples of both, and giving you practical guidance on how not to engage in them. In addition, you’ll walk away with practical guidance on how you as an individual and consumer can play a role in shutting down these practices as well.
