Not Your Average

Hello everyone! For the last episode of 2020, Cassidy sat down with Emma Kumer. She’s a 2020 Northwestern University graduate, designer and journalist. Following the murder of George Floyd, Emma started advocating for racial justice over on social media. She made infographics on a wide-range of issues from public safety to how to be an antiracist. And these infographics took her on a journey she did not expect. In this conversation, Cassidy and Emma get into privilege, police brutality, Instagram activism and overcoming people pleasing. Hope you enjoy!

Hello human being! Welcome to another episode of "Not Your Average"! Today, there’s no special guest. Instead, this is the first episode of After Hours, where I’ll be discussing topics that affect each and every one of our lives once-a-month.
