We jump into the recent viral news regarding the internal culture at RELEVANT Magazine and the toxic behavior and racist attitudes that have existed within it that were perpetuated by the founder and CEO, Cameron Strang. We discuss Former editors' Andre Henry and Rebecca Marie Jo's articles exposing the culture, the backlash that resulted, and how this entire situation impacts Absurdity. We get incredibly personal with you and we explore what RELEVANT's situation means for us going forward.
We are also donating 25% of all proceeds given to Absurdity through October 31 to the National Alliance to End Sexual Violence. endsexualviolence.org and the Info Brochure.
