Why Isn't Anyone Talking About This?

Today we will be talking about “What Is Equity?” Everyone uses this word. What does it mean, how is it used, and where should we be going with it? This is such a big word that we will be exploring this as a special two-parter series.

In the studio for this episode, we have four of the 10-person team at Why Isn’t Anyone Talking About This—Vivian Satterfield, Mychal Tetteh, Leslie Lum, and Steph Routh.

Today’s show was produced by the whole Team; edited by Steph Routh, and hosted by Vivian, Mychal, Leslie, and Steph. Music is by Breuss Arrizabalaga Quintet. You can find us on our Facebook page and on Twitter@whyisntanyone.
