Ep 3. I Am Not The Exception
Content Warning: Themes of racism and cultural insensitivity
Maggie and Cori discuss their personal growth as they've unpacked exceptionalism.

Ep. 9 Making Folks Uncomfortable: Our Mission & Vision
CW: Racism and Whyt Supremacy
A reminder to themselves and you, the listeners, of what this podcast is all about. Maggie and Cori had very specific goals when it came to starting a passion project.
