  • 8 - Black Lives Matter & How to Be an Ally
    Howdy! 
    In this week's episode, we address the Black Lives Matter movement, provide information about how to be an ally, how to avoid performative allyship and how to talk to your parents/friends about systemic racism.
    We end the episode highlighting our organization of the week which is the Black Trans Advocacy Coalition. Their aim is to improve the black trans human experience by overcoming violence injustice in the world through power, value and love all people. They achieve this by providing health aid, housing and employment. You can read more about them and find out ways to donate, volunteer or get help from them at blacktrans.org.
    If you have any organizations that you love and that do great work, send us an email with the organization name either to our email: [email protected] or send us a DM on instagram @notthathypepodcast. We hope that you enjoyed the episode and look forward to us talking about mid-century furniture and other random things next week! ENJOY!
