Hey While Black Family - It's been a tough several days so we pulled an older and unreleased episode out of our files. An episode exposing you to something different....maybe you like it maybe you don't...maybe it's for you maybe it ain't. 

Either way, tune in to something that has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with politics or politicians. We all need a bit of a break from what has been so front and center in our minds.

Enjoy this conversation on Polygamy. 

Peace

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Breonna Taylor and to all of Black America. Her murder and the lack of justice served is a slap in the face to all of us and while no one feels the pain like her family - I know we all are hurting. We are all struggling as we look for answers, search for truth, and pray for justice. One of the most important things we can do is be informed and on today's episode we hear from our resident attorneys and truth communicators Ecleynne Mercy and Mac.

 This episode breaks down many of the facts of the case while providing you with empowering information. At the end of this episode is a passionate plea filled with information from my homeboy and friend of While Black, Gerald. https://www.vote411.orghttps://ballotpedia.org/Main_Page If you have any questions for him please email him at [email protected] Don't forget to get social with While Black IG: WHILE_BLACK; TWITTER @whileblackpc; FB @whileblackpodcast or email: [email protected]
