CONTROVERSY! We are going for the jugular today with two very juicy topics. This is an extra podcast on two topics that we wanted to speak on. First we chat about the photographer who deleted a couple’s wedding photos because the couple wouldn’t feed him. Are wedding suppliers entitled to food on the day? (00:00) Second, we get into the concept of #blacklove. Is it a lie? Where do we stand on the “myth” of #blacklove? ( 26:10)
