In this interview with, Charlette Harrington, we explore the topic of stereotypes about Black women, relationship to Black culture as a multiracial Black person, and what it was like growing up in a segregated community in Middle America. Broadcasting from Lincoln, NE, this is the first in a series of episodes exploring identity formation and self-presentation. The interviews from this podcast are a part of the broader work of visual artist Kat Wiese as she prepares for a show of paintings and prints featuring the individuals interviewed.
