Woke & Broke

BONUS EPISODE

The Democratic party finally has a Presidential ticket! Are you shocked about Kamala Harris being chosen as Joe Biden’s VP? Upset? Happy? Neutral? Gaby and Ardyst share their thoughts about the historic nature of Kamala Harris being on the ticket, do a deep dive into her past and discuss how we are going to move forward and win in November.

On this episode of Woke & Broke, Gaby and Ardyst are joined by co-founder of the Black Lives Matter Manasota chapter, Deedra Zee who shares what it means to "defund the police," why the movement is politicized and gives advice on the best things allies can do to support Black people in their communities. The two also fill listeners in on some of the biggest news of the past two weeks, including recent coverage of human rights violations in China regarding the encampment of Uighur's — and yes, we're still anxiously awaiting Biden's VP announcement. 

On this episode, Gaby and Ardyst talk candidly about some of the biggest political news topics and updates that have happened since their last episode aired. Ted Yoho coming for AOC, schools reopening amid COVID-19 outbreaks, Kim Guilfoye exposing her staffers to COVID-19 then leaving them behind in South Dakota... 2020 is such a time to be alive. If you enjoy podcasts that are opinionated and perhaps controversial - you won’t want to miss this episode!

Don’t miss out on this episode! Gaby and Ardyst give an updated rundown of the policies Joe Biden has put forward as well as an (apprehensive) look at projected election results. They also speak with Laila Fakhoury, former UF President for Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), lead organizer for Florida's Day of Rage, TedX speaker, restorative justice advocate and record label owner about the Israeli/Palestine conflict, along with the work that herself and other Palestinians and allies have put in to raise awareness and seek justice for the oppressed. Laila also provides resources and action steps to get involved and educate ourselves on what we can do to help.
