Keenya Kelly comes on the show to answer some of the toughest questions about race, rioting, and so much more. To be honest, I was a little hesitant and scared to jump on this podcast because this is a really tricky conversation. The last few weeks have been so eye opening for me on the things I don't know when it comes to racism. But I promise to be honest about what I am learning every single day and the stories I am hearing. I still have so far to go and so much to learn, which is why I am so grateful for Keenya. Keenya is amazing. She is hysterical, kind, transparent, and honest. She has so graciously offered herself to be a bridge between White people and Black people, talking about racism, and the ways that we can move forward and navigate these tricky waters. Before I go into anything else… WARNING: It's gonna be messy… but it's also going to be real.  Here's what you'll find out today…  When you address your Black friends… do you call them Black or African American?  Keenya's thoughts on who is rioting vs who is protesting… and are they the same people?
