Welcome back to another Monday with us! Today's episode will be the last of Season 1. Today we're recapping what the past 8 months of podcasting have looked like, why we decided to move to different seasons, and what Season 2 will have in store. Season 2 will be all about activism and advocacy. We want to talk about issues that encompass the Black Lives Matter movement, health policy and advocacy, homelessness, and more. We are excited to bring on more guests, not only those who are traditional activists and professionals, but also everyday people who are making a change in the communities they are apart of. We have loved recording each week with each other and putting out content for you all, but it is time to switch up and prepare for something even better!

Season 2 is coming soon but until then, be sure to keep up with us on social media:
