It's another fiery episode this week, fueled by the inspiration of leaders like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and my guest this week, young activist Riley Caven. This week I read aloud this to-the-point opinion piece as it really resonates with how I felt after the week of media reports surrounding the 'fucking bitch' verbal attack hurled at AOC. It's maddening how normalized it is for a man to speak that way to a woman, and how we sensationalize her response to it. This article hits the nail on the head...and prompts me to share my own most recent 'fucking bitch' story. Whew...this one isn't safe for kids, friends!

I do finally get to the most uplifting part of this weeks show...a sit down with a courageous young lady who is getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. Riley just graduated high school and recently hosted a BLM protest in her small, predominately white town. I enjoyed talking to her about her experiences, what inspires her, and the advice she has to share with other young people who want to make a difference.
