Description
In North America, Brandy Shufutinsky might be called a Black Jewish woman, or a Jew of colour. But in Israel, she's just a Jew. It might sound counterintuitive to feel safer in Israel, under threat of geopolitcal tension and terrorism, than in the United States, but that's the truth. Feeling comfortable walking down the street makes a big difference when you were born in a country where anti-Black racism is significantly more pronounced.
A social worker and activist with two master's degrees, Shufutinsky joins the show to discuss her life in both countries, her thoughts on the Palestinian conflict and how she raised proudly Jewish Black family. Follow her on Twitter @76brandy76.
