Ep. 05: Why All Black Lives Matter Is Important


Listen Later

This past week has been a rough one for many Black folx. This episode featuring Tabitha Coombs was recorded a couple days prior to the police shootings of Jacob Blake and Trayford Pellerin.

Cartier and Tabitha examine the call for All Black Lives Matter and question whether we are ready to accept what this actually means. All Black Lives Matter includes womxn, homeless, trans, disabled—all Black people.
