Out of respect for the untimely death of George Floyd and many others who have been victims of institutional racism, as well as those suffering from racially-motivated aggression and injustice, we will not be publishing a new episode this week.
We know the atmosphere is heavy and emotions are running high. This is not the time to turn away from the feelings you are experiencing. We encourage our non-Black listeners to use this time to reflect, learn, and support Black people in your community, as we are.
We want to use this platform to amplify the voices of Black leaders and give you resources to deepen your understanding and provide clear actions you can take to help elevate Black people and People of Color in your community. Please see below for Instagram accounts, books, and podcasts to start with.
