WeTalkDifferent

This is it fam…the last episode for the WTD Crew! Ashley, Elijah, and Ryan get together one last time to put a big exclamation point on their public 4-year journey called WeTalkDifferent. The Crew talks through their decision to retire the podcast, how they’ve changed over the last 4 years, their favorite moments, and where they’re going next.

Thank you to everyone who listened, who donated, who emailed us, and who came to our events. We never imagined so many of you would resonate with our discussions, but we hope we’ve provided better language for you to articulate your story and a space for you to see a community that lives in the questions. And never forget…1 wear = 1 wash on those jeans fam! Grab your earbuds, one last time with us, and let's talk!

"For the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change." – Audre Lorde

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." – Martin Luther King Jr.
