Ways to Communicate as a White Ally #blacklivesmatter
We are choosing to use our voices to advocate for a cause which we stand by.
In this episode, Molly and Tricia discuss what we’ve learned about recent and historical events, racist policies, and the oppression that has led to the current movement for change. In any way we can, we are striving to use our privilege as white women to encourage conversations around being allies for the black community. While we cannot and will not ever understand how it feels to be black in America, we are using this space to share resources we’ve found helpful. In addition, we talk through our thoughts on ways to become better educated and how to communicate in a way that we believe promotes societal growth.

**Edit to the episode dialogue: Molly states that the mistreatment of black people has been occurring for 400-500 years. This should be changed to “401 years,” as the first slave was brought over to America in 1619.
