Season 3, Episode 4 Bonus Track | A Boycott. A Refusal. A Commitment.

In a follow-up to our fourth episode, “Gimme My High School Experience,” we share about our process and the way we make decisions about what we include--and what we don’t--when we’re creating our podcast. We’re boycotting companies that are supporting the US-backed genocide in Palestine by Israel. We share ways that you can join us in calling for a free Palestine and we close with a poem by the indomitable Black feminist poet, writer, and scholar-activist June Jordan.
