Ep 25: Shut up, Speak Up
In the very distant future, alien explorers will stumble upon the Real Talk, Real Change podcasts from 2020, and be like, "What... the actual fuck?" From a global pandemic to looting Louis Vuitton, it's been an interesting few months for the human race (and don't get us started on the murder hornets). In today's episode, Elisha and Shannon get DEEP on the current state of America: George Floyd's horrific murder. Micro-aggressions and white privilege. Amy Cooper and how white women weaponize the police. Taking a stand as a business owner. Acknowledging mistakes, and teaching our children - of all backgrounds - about existing while black. Elisha delivers some raw truths on being a black woman, terrified for her brothers, and their children. We're in the eye of a flash-point for humankind, and it's important that we listen, learn, and grow from our mistakes. Tune in for this compelling chat that's literally about life or death on the streets of America, and remember that we're here to listen, support, provide resources, and promote forward moving change. Comment, PM us, make suggestions.
P.S. We're pausing our website and fan club launch for a short while, as now is the time for reflection and focus. Be kind to yourself, and others.
