As recent acts of police brutality, including the murder of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, spark protests and movements nationwide, social media has become a breeding ground for new forms of activism by helping to spread information and create accountability. While this is a great first step, Crying In Public dedicates their inaugural episode to discuss ways in which we can educate one another, create constructive and difficult conversations with friends of different races, and enact change beyond our phone screens. As a racially diverse group of women, they discuss how their upbringings affected their respective views on racism and privilege, and what steps they are taking to actively better themselves in the wake of recent events.
