  • 🎙 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.
