Are you donating your body to science or willing to go to Mars with the Billionaires? Vernique is down, Krystal is skeptical and Aliya gave them the side eye. Check out this week’s episode of Millennial Musing as we discuss Halloween, family check-ins, kidney transplant discovery, Travis Scott and Native American Heritage Month.

November is such a special time for so many of us as we look forward to holiday shopping, time off to spend with family and friends to enjoy a meal in gratitude. However, for many Native Americans it is a time of mourning for those lost during centuries of genocide following European colonist arrival in America. Change the narrative of Thanksgiving and Native Americans by learning, understanding and teaching your children the real story of the First Americans. Read books, stories and poetry written by indigenous people. Teach your children about Native American tribes by researching which indigenous land you live on.

Check out the book My Beautiful Black Hair by St. Claire Derick-Jules.
