How Am I Still Alive?!

Box of Shame July 2020


Listen Later

This month, the girls are doing things a lil differently and touching upon the cases that have brought the Black Lives Matter movement back to public attention with the police-involved murders of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd. The girls have a discussion on police brutality and regulations and we invite our listeners to join the discussion. We have some links below from various sources from today's episode as well as a link from The Strategist which we found provided the most comprehensive list of Black-community charities, funds for those lost, and other funds that you may wish to contribute to during this time. We look forward to further educating ourselves on this topics and will provide updates as they unfold.
