In today's episode, Venus Kagabo joins Abby to talk about her experience as a woman of color in Canada. Venus expands on global racism, the importance of all races being allies, how to educate yourself and others and have conversations with those who are close-minded, tokenism, the danger of the media, voting, and so much more. If you would like to watch this conversation rather than listen, you can watch it on Abby's youtube channel, where she will also be donating all ad revenue generated from the video to a BLM organization that fights for racial equality and justice. You can stream it in the background just as a way to donate without using your own money if you are looking for ways to donate! BLACK LIVES MATTER.
