On this episode we discuss our experiences as black women in Vancouver and mothers raising black children.  We share how we plan to prepare our children for this world and touch on the importance of parents discussing race relations regardless of the race of their child.  We give honest answers to questions we don't necessarily enjoy reflecting on..."Would people be responding and paying as much attention if we weren't in the midst of a pandemic? We cancelled vacations, cancelled jobs, cancelled shopping, cancelled restaurants, cancelled parks, cancelled sports, cancelled live entertainment, cancelled life as we know it...did it take cancellation of damn near everything to gain attention to a modern day lynching in broad daylight and the issues that have faced black people for hundreds of years? And what happens next?"

We discuss the #blacklivesmatter movement, protests and GOOD progress being made.  We honour and remember the countless black people killed by cops.  

Overall, this was not an easy episode for us to record...we are exhausted and our emotions are running  high but coming together to share has always been our way of processing our feelings each time a black life is taken from this earth. 

Rest in power George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and Tony McDade . Say their names. No more hashtags.
