Ep 51: Holiday Survival Guide: How to Lead Anti-Racist Conversations at the Dinner Table with Family
Podcast: Interrupting Business As UsualPublished On: Sun Nov 16 2025
Description: You've been avoiding your cousin's problematic Facebook rants all year and now you're sitting next to them at the dinner table. This episode is your go-to survival guide for holiday gatherings where silence feels safer but you refuse to turn down the volume on your values. Nikki shares her signature Confident Conversations framework (1-2-3, A-B-C) to help you lead anti-racist dialogue with family, co-workers, neighbors, and anyone you find yourself in close quarters with this season, even when the stakes feel personal. We'll talk about how to hold your ground, set intentions, and avoid doing all the emotional labor. You'll learn how to turn confrontation into connection, initiate and navigate conversations that actually make sense and shift perspectives, and why you don't need to solve everything in one night to make a real impact. This is how we interrupt harmful and oppressive ideologies without burning everything down. This is how we start building the world we actually want, one dinner table at a time. Special thanks to Def Sound for providing the theme for Interrupting Everything. Where do we go from here? To learn more about what you heard on the podcast today, visit nikkiblak.com.
