We need to make something very clear before we dive in: we are NOT anti-racism educators.

Today's episode is going to be a raw conversation around the Black Lives Matter movement, White Privilege, & the murder of George Floyd. It will be heavy, and we will potentially get some of this wrong but we need to have these hard conversations, and get it wrong while we continue to do the work we need to do as White Women.

We're going to talk about:

Why ‘Black Lives Matter’ and NOT ‘All lives Matter’
Being more than just a couch activist on Instagram
Drawing line in the sand, standing up for injustice and what you're willing to lose when human lives are at stake.

We hope that you are able to take something away from this episode, and it helps you to begin the journey of doing the work to actively practice Anti-Racism.
