Black & 'burbanEpisode 2.05: Maybe they worked for it... nah, it's Privilege (w/ Israel Vaughan)This week Calil and Niah dive into a conversation with a returning guest, Israel Vaughan. We're talking about privilege and what to do with that silver spoon we maybe have been fortunate enough to be born with. It can get a little awkward, but acknowledging the realities of the world we live in and the privilege we may have is the only way to put us on a path toward equity. Join us as we share our experience and let us know your take on our Instagram @blacknburban!
