Lerae is the Founder and Managing Partner of a boutique law firm, Funderburg Law in Atlanta, as well as a Health and Wellness Practitioner.

In this conversation, they all discuss the different movements of 2020, how activists should enter into communities they want to help, performative activism, and the essential role that health and wellness play in the lives of activists and much more.
