The pair discuss Annahid’s latest book, The Bones of Belonging: Finding Wholeness in a White World, which is a poignant collection of essays centered around Annahid’s experiences searching for, and teaching about, belonging in our deeply divided world. Jerry and Annahid delve into the little, insidious, persistent ways we feel pressured to abandon parts of our identity, and how creating spaces and organizations of belonging requires that we reconnect with the dismembered parts of ourselves and the knowledge our bones hold.
