Hi friends! Welcome to The Thrifters podcast. It's Amanda Walker-Storey. If you're enjoying what I'm doing over here on the podcast, please feel free to leave me a review anywhere you listen to the podcast and you can buy me a coffee at buymeacoffee.com/thethrifters
Today's episode is...a little bit tricky. So here is basically a disclaimer:
I'm going to be using some words in this episode that may not be, I don't want to say "politically correct" because that feels so like, 90s.
I'm going to be using some words that are frowned upon. And the only reason I'm using these words is to be sure that I'm clearly conveying this message to you today. These are not words that I use typically in my language and my day to day. And actually, I'm sharing this message with all of you so that you can also make some decisions about the language that you're using. 
There are some words that get thown out there to describe aspects of a garment that you may not even realize are rooted in racially problematic terms or are othewise making people uncomfortable, even angry. So let's talk about them.
