    • Episode 37—Black Lives Matter! – What’s The Problem?

      Black and brown people continue to be murdered by police across America. George Floyd is on trial for killing himself rather than Derrick Chauvin (the Minneapolis police officer who actually murdered him).

      • Episode 36—Why You Do That?

        Pierce County Sheriff, Ed Troyer is facing extreme pressure to resign after he claimed a Black newspaper delivery driver threatened his life. He later changed his story. The “receipts,” evidenced by the 911 recording and his official statement to the police, are in vast contradiction. In other words, he lied. Sisters Audrey and Melannie discuss the details of the case and ask out loud – “Ed… why you do that?”

        • Episode 35—How Did We Get So “Twisted Up” About Racism Anyway?

          The sisters go deep to understand why racism is what it is and how it continues to disease our communities.  They examine their concerns through the academic lens of cycles of socialization and liberation then translate the meaning in their own “urban” way.  This is real talk ya’ll.
