January 18, 2021 TWT - Domestic Terrorists and How to talk about Race (part1)
Thanks for tuning in to another TWT episode. The conversation opens up with a brief discussion on the congress controversy that happened in the USA and Tawonga asks how we can have a productive conversation around race where one side is not busy blaming and the other side busy defending which results in no progress in the way we talk about race. In TWT fashion, the conversation closes with everyone stating what brings them joy during lockdown.
