Season 4, Ep. 12: Protesting Like an Adult — Black People Are Tired & Beware of White Ninjas

What does it mean to be a "good" protestor? It's 2020 and the world is continuing to go to hell in a handbasket: first with Corona, and now with another senseless death of an unarmed Black man at the hands of white police officers, caught on tape. The now-viral death has sparked civil unrest and once more, Black people are hitting the streets to march in protest, with some unsavory side effects. In this episode of "Adult-ish," host Afiya is joined by co-host Vincent Bernard to question how does one protest? What does it mean to be a good protestor? Is it being a marcher or a person who donates funds? Or, just maybe there's another way... Listen on as Afiya gives her not-so-conflicting take on what it can mean to protest on her terms, while Vincent makes it very clear all those marching out there aren't really marching for the clause. And the two both wrangle with the question: will protests ever really ignite change if all we're doing is using our bodies instead of our minds? Tune in and let these voices be heard!
