Radiant Mix

This week on Radiant Mix, we are so excited to feature Dr. Zaire Dinzey-Flores, Associate Professor of Sociology and Latino & Hispanic Caribbean Studies at Rutgers University.   Zaire has dedicated her life to studying and teaching about race.  This interview is a glimpse of two friends in deep conversations about race, class, family, parenting, fashion, life as a Dominican Black Latina growing up in Puerto Rico, identity, structural racism and so much more.  Zaire’s story really resonated to Hope’s mixed experience. Their lives..so different, yet so similar. Dr. Zaire Dinzey-Flores’ scholarship focuses precisely on how the built environment reproduces and archives race, class, and gender inequality. She is an author of her book "Locked In, Locked Out: Gated Communities in a Puerto Rican City" . In addition, she is one of the founding members of Black Latinas Know Collective, which an impressive collective of Black Latina Scholars. Get ready to be inspired.
