How creative partnerships navigate racial dynamics in shared work

My creative partner and I have been collaborating for three years and we're both women but she's white and I'm Black and there are things about how our work gets received and promoted that we experience totally differently. I don't know how to bring this up without making it weird between us or making her feel like she has to fix something that isn't really her fault.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Different social positions within a partnership create different lived experiences of the same shared endeavor.
