This week, Jaylin is taking a headfirst dive into acknowledging her own privilege.

She takes the time this week to address the discriminatory anti-transgender legislation being introduced and passed in states across the nation in regards to restricting trans athletes ability to participate in school sports and trans minors' access to gender affirming healthcare. Jaylin speaks on not only how detrimental these laws would be, but also how they are centered around problems that don't exist. She then delves into the voter suppression legislation that has been introduced and passed all across the country in response to unsubstantiated voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Finally, she wraps up with some good news: she got the first dose of her vaccine! Jaylin shares her side effects and further reaffirms that getting vaccinated is a choice everyone should make.

This week Jaylin is bringing some personal stories to the table. First, she starts with a time a few weeks ago when she was cat-called outside of a local pizza shop, and uses it as an opportunity to speak on violence against women. She talks openly about the Sarah Everard case from the UK and what men can do to make this world a safer space for women. She then shares some great news: her parents are vaccinated! Which directly means that y'all are gonna get some insider secrets on the vaccine and its side effects! She then gives insight into a conversation she was having with a good friend just a few weeks ago regarding the ability we as individuals have to recognize our own socioeconomic positions within society, since modern messages on social media have seemed to hinder that.
