There's a reason this podcast was a daily podcast. There's just too much to talk and think about since the last episode. I hope y'all have been questioning the system, fighting inequity, and trying to create a better future. Enjoy this extra long catch-up episode :-)

Long time no see, y'all!!  I recorded this back on Juneteenth, and originally didn't release it because I thought I was too upset and too vulnerable when recording. Well you know what... Here it is: Episode 31

WHOOOO-Doggy y'all! This is one gets a little wild when Cousin JED (from ep. 14) interrupts the podcast yelling "all lives matter!"

Laugh along with the hypocrisies of Cousin JED in this celebratory 30th Episode.

Acknowledging that black people have been discriminated against DOES NOT INVALIDATE YOUR STRUGGLES AS A WHITE PERSON. 

It simply means that we are talking about extra struggles that people of color have dealt with because of systemic racism. 

If you feel uncomfortable and sick right now, GOOD. I'm glad you're listening and empathetic.

Fellow white folk... 

Call out injustice. Challenge racist viewpoints. Have difficult conversations with friends, family, and neighbors. This is how you can help daily. #BlackLivesMatter #SayItAnyway

I'm sad, worried, empathetic, and upset. 

I encourage my white friends to listen to this episode as a way of understanding a little more about why we use the phrase "Black Lives Matter" instead of "all lives matter" .... Join me in being an ally. #BlackLivesMatter 

When was the last time you looked back at what life truly looked like in middle school or high school? It's so normal to have thousands of photos and videos of every week, day, moment... but not back in 2002!

Enjoy this actual brand new episode of Avoidance Issues where we speculate what life will be like for my 1-year-old nephew in 2037 when he's 18.

Listen to the birds, y'all! I recorded this one outside because I needed to... plus social distancing. 

This episode discusses what life may be like for my little nephew who turns 18 in 2037.

Too often do people get used for their love, attention, time, money, and effort. It gets to the point where people believe they are not valuable, but that's simply not true. 

Y'all deserve to feel valuable!
