Just so you know, Racism In America producers Dorothy Toran and Leslie D. Farrell said that they chose each Bravolebrity themselves, noting that no one declined the invitation to participate on this panel, as per reports from PageSix.
What to expect:
The “This is unlike any other conversation,” explained Dorothy Toran to Page Six. “You could talk to someone and have a conversation with them for every day for five years and you would never have a race conversation. So I think when you open the door to a race conversation you will be surprised at what everyone says.”
Leslie D. Farrell added, “What’s fascinating and surprising is to hear — and we always think this — when someone is either well off or they’re on television or whatever, well [race-related incidents] don’t really happen to them,” she explained. “We get it that it happens to us, the normal people, the ones behind the scenes, right? So I knew my experiences and Dorothy has hers, but to hear some of their experiences, it’s like, ‘I’ve experienced that!’”
