We acknowledge the social injustices that are present in the United States and we are constantly educating ourselves and advocating for the movement #blacklivesmatter. This episode is a compilation of our thoughts after months of protesting, sharing information, listening to the silenced voices, and signing petitions. We stand with the protesters around the country and support this movement. We decided to use our platform to speak up and hopefully be able to educate (with what we've learned). Support black voices, businesses, artists, writers, storytellers, athletes, teachers, educators, etc. We will not stop talking about this after this episode and advocate in our own personal lives. Below are helpful resources for petitions, protests, education, and where you can support black artists and black voices. Thank you.

Don't ever stop supporting this. Silence is violence, you are privileged if you are able to ignore the constant injustices that happen every day.
