Season 2, Episode 5: Cultural Appreciation Versus Appropriation, Part 2

In Episode 5, Cris, Ava and Pader continue to talk about trends and the grey area surrounding cultural appropriation versus appreciation. They dive into the crazes that have shaped culture in recent years and historical trends that became cultural standards. The team offers tips on how to appreciate other cultures with interest rather than exoticism. The steps include invitation, education, immersion and amplifying previously marginalized voices.
