Hello hello TLB fam!! The birds are singing and summer is here in Chicago and it is a beautiful day to be alive :) Alexa talks about Kim K's new social injustice podcast (if we didn't stan her before we SURE do now) and Alex talks about his obsession with Carly Rae Jepsen (LISTEN DO NOT SLEEP ON HER Y'ALL she is more than call me maybe!!). Then we move onto our special guest, Wes Anderson - a good friend of Alexa's from college - and we have a really great conversation about race, privilege, and how to have hard conversations. Wes tells us about growing up black, how he balances it all, and how his goal is to be better each and every day (your TLB hosts are stealing that because it's gorgeous). Thank you to Wes for coming on and having a great conversation :)
