episode 236: Unraveling Class Identity: A Candid Conversation with Jonathan Menjivar
What does class identity mean to you? Is it confined to the digits on a financial statement, or does it weave a complex tapestry that intertwines with race, ethnicity, and immigration status?
Today I am joined by Jonathan Menjivar, the host of the Classy podcast, the groundbreaking podcast here to dissect and decode the enigma of class identity. In 'Classy,' Jonathan navigates those unspoken narratives, delves into hidden aspirations, and confronts the discomfort of unraveling societal expectations. So join us as Jonathan and I embark on this journey of introspection, peeling back the class layers to discover the more profound stories that define who we are.
