We are in a pivotal moment in history. It's been a long time coming, but now can be a time for change. But in order to work towards change, one must have a deep understanding of the issues at hand.

The Four Topics I cover in this episode are:

1. Some of the historical wrongs that have shaped Black America

2. How African Americans are perceived, which puts them in danger

3. How police brutality is enabled and the need for police reform

4. Ways you can help the Black Lives Matter movement and be an anti-racist ally

Here's some great resources to check into:
