Hey all. With everything going on, it feels insignificant to create and post content as if nothing is going on. As much as I love interviews, anime, and fun things, I don’t want to talk about that much less want to see it. I’m tired. I’m angry. I’m hurt. However, I understand that as someone with a platform, I can’t sit by idly. I’m motivated to post and record this so I can inform my listeners on ways they can help support Black Lives Matter, the protesters, and the Black community. I also want to share information on ways to take care of yourself. I don’t have the answers but I do have a voice that I want to use to amplify the Black voices around me and nationally.
