On today's episode Shahidah and Tanya breathe a sigh of relief as they recount their emotions of the election.

Saturday was a great day around the world not only did sane Americans celebrate the Biden/Harris win but the world did as well. It's being a long four years. We have covered all the emotions anger, sadness, shock as we watched our nation fall into the grips of a white supremacist. As thousands have died due to Covid-19 and a play president who doesn't care about the job as much as he cares about the title of the job electing Joe Biden has been a grace we all need to look forward to shutting down this administration and moving to better days.
