Let Me Check My Spirit!

Soooo we researched and planned this episode before our hot girl summer hiatus, so both Bezos and Branson have already completed their trips!

What do you guys think?

As two black girls from the suburbs, this particular incident was incredibly interesting. Jess and B both work in underserved communities, B as a high school teacher and Jess works for the local government. Their backgrounds meant that the rampant privilege taking place directly affect those in the community that they work with. Many systems are set up to allow the privileged to prosper, ESPECIALLY in the education system, and it is about time that these types of incidents have come to the light. The disparities in society are only increasing and will continue to do so, unless something is done to promote equality and close the gap between the rich and the impoverished.
