In this concluding episode of Chapter 2, Marina and Halley are joined by UCF Sociology Ph.D. student Kristal Johnson whose research focuses on racial inequality. Together they discuss how social progress is not linear, the importance of creating communities of resistance, the myth of “cancel culture,” and Black feminist knowledge of collective self-care and social justice. Part II concludes with a brief conversation about different ways to approach social change, including Marina, Halley, and Kristal’s personal philosophies of resistance.
