It was the music of Phish that initially connected me to todays guest, Mercie. Somewhere (a mutual friend? a shared subgroup for phans on Facebook?) I saw a post of this talented duo (Mercie and her partner Danika) singing this incredibly pure/sweet yet powerful version of the song "Leaves" and I shared it to several other groups. We became FB friends and fast-forward to the last few weeks. We're in Phans for Black Lives Matter together, and I happened to catch her share a link to her recent instagram post...when I took the time to watch it all it really touched & inspired me. It feels important to amplify her voice and her perspective, and I was grateful she agreed to come on the show to discuss the highlights from her resources for white allies talk (which you can find and listen to here: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CA9SY8fDG43/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link ).

In todays show prior to the interview with Mercie, I give updates on COVID-19 in IL as we move into Phase 4 in our Re-open plan from Governor Pritzger and how that effects local yoga studios (including my own). 

Today is also Juneteenth, and in this episode I refer to the website http://www.junteenth.com for the information shared regarding the history of this important date. 

The original intro music is written and recorded by Orion Moran.
The outro music today "Zen Flow" legally downloaded (purchased) from Chris Collins, indiemusicbox.com.
