It's been a year...a whole year since we all went home in March of 2020 and expected that this would only last for a few weeks. A year later, Alixx and I take a moment to reflect on grief, our last day outside, and how we cannot wait to go to the movies. Listen to us as Alixx tells us about her job as an EMT and how we all need to give more grace to each other.

It's Nov. 5th, 2020. Two things are true: we still don't know who the president is and Margaret and I are not having a good week. We chat about our coping mechanisms the past few days, Margaret's almost suppressed vote, my sudden illness, and my quota of white people. Through the laughs and realization that our democracy is truly doomed, Margaret talks to me about the hard conversations she has with her white peers about racism, politics, and everything in between.

Today's episode features Dre, who is a friend of mine and someone who I've been trying to collaborate with forever now! We decided to do an episode surrounding the show Insecure by Issa Rae.

This week I take a moment to discuss the gruesome murder of Nia Wilson, an 18 year old black woman who was killed on a train station in the Bay Area by a white man. Her death along with countless other events this week, reinforce the idea that black women are not protected and cared for in this society. Listen to my thoughts and of course feel free to reach. This is an episode to and for black women.
