Episode Description

Black people are still our here fighting for the right to JUST BE — you know ALIVE. And I’m here for ALL OF IT!
I’m happy to see so many Black People on the front lines fighting against racism even while we’re in the middle of a global pandemic.

…because if Black People are going to continue the fight for justice and equality we absolutely must take care of ourselves.
