We discuss opportunities and events they attended, what they saw and how they felt as they participated in historical efforts to support Black Lives all over the world.
Goals of The Episode
This episode aims to educate listeners on why conversations on race matter as well as discuss the ways in which we can do more as a society in order to understand what is currently happening in the world with regard to race and discrimination.

Hi – I really like this different format. I’m going to offer some feedback … the music track is too loud when speakers are speaking. I like it for the intro, but once the interview starts, I think it is still valuable but needs to be almost a whisper, so it’s not competing with the spoken word.
