"What White Supremacy Does to Your Mental Health" (w/ Shahem Mclaurin)

George M. Johnson knows how to counterpunch the culture wars. ALL BOYS AREN&rsquo;T BLUE, their memoir of growing up Black and Queer in America, is currently the second-most banned book in America. And that distinction has pushed George to the frontlines of the fight for freedom of expression. &ldquo;Fighting Words&rdquo; is George&rsquo;s chance to bring listeners into the ring with some of today&rsquo;s most talented, outspoken and courageous creative people, people ready, willing and able to use their words to fight back against intolerance, fear, censorship and marginalization. Each week George talks to someone about their work making culture that takes on the topics some people seem afraid to talk about. It&rsquo;s a conversation that goes deep but stays light &ndash; fleet, fast and fearless. And each episode gives George a chance to shine a light on new music, timeless wisdom and some of today&rsquo;s rising stars.
