Happy Pride Month, listeners! Please please listen to (the episode, but) the entirety of the intro. We list some important information about how you can support our pals in the black trans community! Spread some love. 

This week we do a deep dive into the Alphabet Soup and learn about the privilege of loving who we want. We also explore wage gaps and seasoning with the history of salary.

If you enjoy this episode and want to hear more, please check us out on Stitcher, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and the Libsyn player on our site: [email protected]
