In today's episode, I sat down with Michaela Banks, creator of Sweet Sweet Justice -- a weekly cake auction where all proceeds go to organizations working toward racial justice. While first inspired by Michaela's ability to gracefully combine her passion and purpose while also working as a Registered Nurse, I walked away feeling inspired by the idea of participating in anti-racist work in an embodied way. We talked about ally-ship as white women and about some of the nuances of her experience operating this platform--we're diving deep today friends! AND talking about cake!

 In today's episode you'll hear the song Mercy by Marshall Law Band, which is a Seattle-based Funk-Hop band led by Marshall Hugh and backed by a 5-piece band. The Marshall Law Band could be seen creating empowered vibes during the BLM protests of 2020 and they continue to grace Seattle with loving and hopping tunes at outdoor concerts throughout the summer at "Fremont Friday's". Thank you for listening!!
