Alicia Garza is a civil rights activist and author with a lot of irons in the fire:

• she co-founded Black Lives Matter in 2013 
• she works with the National Domestic Workers Alliance 
• she co-founded Supermajority in 2019
• she's founded the Black Futures Lab 
• her book, How to Turn a Hashtag into a Movement, will be out in 2020 

We went deep fast in this conversation! We talked about transforming anger into love; we went deep into the topic of redemption; and Alicia presenced for us the idea that black communities are a part of the antidote to the poison that is spreading throughout this country.
