The N-Word

Greetings Tits,

Welcome back to this week's episode and Happy Black History Month! We wanted to take this moment to discuss the "controversy" of using the N-word. As non-black hosts we feel as though it is our role to inform our non-black audience on the effects of historical disparity and inequity among Black Lives. This week we elevate Black Scholars, podcasters, and TikTok'ers that have provided us with rich knowledge on the etymology, the stats against Black people,  Anti-Blackness, and so much more. Although I did open up with highlighting that it is Black History Month, I would like to note that we should continue to celebrate the Black community beyond February. Hope you enjoy this content and thank you so much for listening!
