Alex is the co-founder of The Gifted Gab Podcast and is running petitions to create reform in the systemic racism rooted in Canada. Having faced racism most of his life, Alex has a strong passion to bring about change through the BLM movement. Alex also played a role in organizing the large protest that took place in Edmonton and has been a leader recently seen on multiple news channels speaking out on the changes that need to take place in Canada.


OG Jonah returns to our podcast for the second time, not as a rapper but more as an activist. OG was the lead host of the BLM protest in YEG that gathered over 15000 people and in other protests as well. He has been raising money for George Floyds Family through his YEGMG BLM collection and was one of the first leaders in the city to speak up on the issue. OG has a large established following, many of the teenage demographic and takes great pride in creating positive influence and awareness for them in regards to BLM.


Conversations about the US have taken place but we sit down with these knowledgeable leaders and discuss the current situation specific to Canada, what needs to change and what we can do as citizens to create a place free of racism, oppression and police brutality. Listen in to our passionate debate and discussion\\xa0 about Black Lives Matter.
