Chasing Common Ground: Lifestyle Conversations with Chris Liddle
Episode 101 - Lazina McKenzie
If nothing else, listen to this episode so that you can hear a white personal trainer say that it's important to have brown female representation on the walls of a Lululemon in a city as racially diverse as Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
We dove down some rabbits holes today. We used white people, brown people terms a lot. We talked about cultural diversity. We talked about learning to admire what makes everyone in our lives great rather than what makes them different. We talked about her experiences being a born in Canada but brown and hearing a genuine "Welcome to Canada". This is another one of those "could have gone on for hours" episodes.
Not only did we talk about what November Project means to Lazina and how she feels like a badass, we also talked about what her best connections have been, or at least some that stood out to her today. We talked about her experience being raised in a brown family around white people and how her parents wanted her to go skiing. We talked about celebrating different holidays, and we talked about travelling.
Lazina used to be a personal trainer so we talked about her experience with that and about really pivotal conversations in her life. We talked about what she admires about her husband.
That's more than enough reasons to give this one a listen. Thanks for supporting The Lifestyle Chase :).
