Life makes regular podcasting hard, y'all. We've promised not to avoid the tough topics, but immersing ourselves in this riveting, thoughtful read was challenging when every day we seemed to hear about a new black person being murdered by the police. Ravena and I finally got our acts together and buckled down to read The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. We think you'll be able to tell how much we loved and appreciated this book when you hear us gush (rant...excitedly ramble). Essential. Read it and join the conversation.
