This week Jess took some time to assess the Black Lives Matter situation and shares some resources she found helpful as well as some thoughts she had had while learning about what it means to be anti racist opposed to not racist. Marc the Producer joins in on the second half, with intentions to talk about a dating topic, but they end up discussing the protests, defunding the police, and other things related to the situation together a fair bit more. Honestly, we tried to get back to business as usual but given the drastic change of topic they just don’t feel like talking about it, so they ended up scrapping it! We do what we want around here!
