  • Summary

  • 🎙 Know Thy Neighbor Before we can love our neighbor — we have to know them. Know Thy Neighbor is a space for the stories too often silenced — where we sit down, slow down, and listen to the real lives shaped by politics, policies, and privilege. Every week, we pull up a chair at the kitchen table with folks whose experiences are rarely centered — marginalized voices, families fighting to be seen, and communities carrying the weight of systems built to erase them. 🎧 New episodes drop every week. Listen. Share. Talk about it. Because these stories deserve to be remembered.

  • The System Doesn’t See Us: Navigating Everyday Bias

    The System Doesn’t See Us: Navigating Everyday Bias
    Mar 25 2025

    🎙 Episode 1 — The System Doesn’t See Us: Navigating Everyday Bias

    In this powerful first episode of Know Thy Neighbor, Susan sits down with Dr. Isela Garcia — an educator, mother, Chicana woman, and fierce advocate — to talk about what it means to live, love, and raise a family within systems never built to see you.

    Together, they explore the emotional weight of being unseen — as a Latina woman married to a Black man, and as a mother raising a neurodivergent daughter.

    Isela shares deeply personal stories of bias, racism, and systemic failure — from being disowned by family for marrying outside her race, to police encounters shaped by skin color, to fighting for her daughter’s right to be fully seen in school and society.

    This episode challenges us to confront the quiet, everyday ways bias shows up — in policies, in families, in ourselves — and to ask what it really means to know your neighbor.
