#46: My Bubble of Black Excellence

This week, in the spirit of International Women's Month, Cher and James discuss how the conversation online isn't completely intersectional. In Open Call, Cher and James talk about podcasts that got them through this week, and James also talks about Ruby on Rails. We were sponsored this week by: Basecamp: When you use Basecamp to run projects, people know what to do, people know where things are, and you stay on top of everything all the time. References made during our conversation: March is Women's History Month, guys. arts.black is the site we all need in our lives Kimberly Drew, advancing visibility in art Jenny Zhang, an incredible music writer for Rookie Eve Ewing, a Chicago writer for Seven Scribes, speaking on Black Lives Matter The panel Cher was on for International Women's Day Trickle Up Feminism, something that needs to be considered You know we couldn't forget about Open Call: Cher: Snap Judgement's latest episode on a trans woman's journey in her first year transitioning and Cher is hella hyped for the West Wing Weekly to hit her earholes.
