15. Black Lives Matter
from Our 2 Pence
Sparked by the recent killings of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, the Black Lives Matter movement has been catapulted into the consciousness of the international community. This resurgence in global interest has opened the eyes of many and re-lit the fire in the bellies of others. To honour the importance of this very important topic, and the many discussions it must inspire in order to illicit change, Vivian and Leah are taking this episode to share some of their experiences with the subject matter and add their voices the mix.
