Hey guys! We are back with another episode, and *surprise* we have a new addition to our team! Please give Amy a warm welcome 💞
In this episode, we will be discussing the importance of the Black Lives Matter Movement and the problematic issue around police brutality.
Disclaimer: We understand that this is an extremely sensitive topic so we apologize if there are points in the episode where we come off as insensitive or inappropriate. We have no intentions of bringing the BLM community down as we, ourselves, are supporters of the movement. Our only intention is to further inform our community of the current issue and emphasize the importance of taking action ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
