Full Disclosure:
This podcast is not one that is meant to be light-hearted. Our intent is to bring awareness. And some of this discussion may get uncomfortable for our listeners. We believe it is important to face this discomfort in order for us to grow and recognize the change that needs to happen. We are only students learning to be better allies to our black brothers and sisters.
