  • Episode 19: Women of Color Initiative

    This episode is very pleasing to me and my homecestors. We are joined by Brianna, Franchesca, Zuly, and Aliza from MCLA's Women of Color Initiative (WOCI). After some really heavy and important episodes, this is just a fun conversation that ranges from celebrity crushes to conspiracy theories. We thought collabing with WOCI would be the best way to end Women's History Month. Enjoy!

    Our hearts go out to the families of Hyun Jung Grant, Xiaojie Tan, Delaina Ashley Yaun, Daoyou Feng, Soon Chung Park, Yong Ae Yue, Sun Cha Kim, and the other unnamed victims of the terrorist attack in Atlanta on March 16th.

  • Episode 17: Community Outreach Reaching Nowhere.
    This is an extremely candid conversation between the leaders of MCLA's Black Student Union about the tone-deaf placement of Public Safety's "Community Outreach" office in between MERC and The Women's Center/IGE. We speak openly and honestly about how hurt and unheard we feel about this decision. The third floor is a student space and Public Safety makes us feel unsafe. Please share this podcast and message us about your feelings on the topic.
