The Good: A Teaching Moment With Caitlyn Jenner
During Katy Perry’s live streams she was doing in 2017, the singer had a dinner that Seales was invited to. During that conversation, Seales shut Caitlyn Jenner down during a discussion about the future of this country.
She explained to Jenner that the phrase, “I believe in this country,” has a different meaning for a white person than it does for a Black woman, thoroughly checking Jenner’s privilege.
She later said in an interview that she felt like a “warrior of truth” at that moment. She said that Perry’s global following needed to hear the truth because they are not getting it from mainstream media.
This moment is also where her iconic, “I’m not hostile, I’m passionate” phrase was born.
