On episode four, we discuss some weighty matters and try to step into the grief that we are living in in the US. We are living in a constant state of trauma. The pandemic is still killing many, Black and brown people are still bearing the weight of much of its death. The US continues to let the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Many are calling for gratitude, and yet it’s shallow and cheap when centered around our privilege. We must be active in mourning with those who mourn in order to move towards fighting unjust systems. It’s important that Black History Month isn’t for the month. We must year round fight to end systems of white supremacy.
