This past week we’ve had some deep and meaningful conversations about responding to the myth of “Black on Black crime.” As our conversations unfolded I realized that I left out one key detail, rich people commit crimes too! I made this clarification on our “Ask Jasmine” segment this week and wanted to make sure it had a permanent place in the podcast library. 

 

“Ask Jasmine” is a mini podcast segment that we send out to our Fam Favorites email list. Each week I choose one of your questions to answer, the question for this week is: How do you respond when someone says "Those communities are the ones who need the police the most"?
