How ya feelin', friends? Ready to be anti-racist, I hope! In case you don't know this, I am a black woman. That's a huge part of my identity, and I'd be remiss if I didn't address what black people are experiencing throughout the world right now, as well as what we've endured for hundreds of years. This episode is more of a "stream of consciousness" moment for me to express what I'm feeling and, particularly, what I mean when I say that "silence is violence."
