Dive Right In

"We really need to honor and celebrate the diversity that we have here in our country. That's what makes our community so unique!" -Jackie and Hannah

We wanted to take this opportunity to celebrate Indigenous People's Day and provide space to learn more about those who truly built our country from the ground up. It is so important to acknowledge the persecution that so many communities have experienced and pave the way for more acceptance! In addition to this extremely important topic, we wanted to discuss some prominent extremist political figures. It is important to hear multiple opinions and do your own research on this intriguing topic as well. Lastly, we had a blast discussing our experiences making phone calls to rally Biden supporters from Red and Swing states. We encourage you to sign up and do the same, it is super rewarding, fun, and educational! We really hope you enjoy this weeks episode. 

Love, Jackie and Hannah

“Even though we are fortunate enough to have the resources allowing us to go back to school in person safely, we have to recognize our privilege and think of way to support others” - Hannah and Jackie

While reflecting on our own personal school's educational plans for this school year, we realized how much is still unknown about the safety of reopening and the injustices surrounding how economics plays a role into in-person learning. We wanted to dive into these topics to provide our listeners with information about how crucial education is while addressing the impacts school has on our health. both positively and negatively, especially during a Pandemic. 

We also briefly discussed our plans for rebranding this Podcast at the end of the episode, so be sure to stay tuned for that!

“Are we creating hate or are we creating change” - Hannah and Jackie

This is such an amazing episode where we discuss the importance of second chances and giving people the benefit of the doubt. We discuss how crucial it is to be understanding but also how calling people out for change (kindly) can be a force for good. While diving in to specific examples, we  make sure to touch on ways to change this narrative of putting others down. Please make sure that you are careful of the impact that your words and actions have on other people, especially on social media. Remember that celebrities and influencers are humans too and deserve to be treated kindly! If you are interested in hearing more information on this very prevalent topic, be sure to check out The Daily's two part series on this topic.

"Women are the most untapped resource on our planet." -MILCK

This is such an amazing episode where we conclude our feminism miniseries talking about being part of the change with our special guest, MILCK. MILCK is a singer-songwriter who first gained global attention by singing her song Quiet during the Women's march. This song was later named the unofficial anthem of the Women's movement. Throughout the interview, MILCK talks about her childhood and how it has led her to where she is today, and also how music helps her express the feelings she is going through. She also discusses her hashtag, #ICANTKEEPQUIET, its significance to her and the whole movement, and how it is different from #MeToo. 

We are incredibly excited to share this episode with you all, and make sure to check out @milckmusic on Instagram and https://icantkeepquiet.org/
