- Cultura e società
This is not a "constructive conversation" or a "critical conversation" -- this is a REAL conversation between two women-identifying friends of different races, ethnicities, and religions about the most important topics in our society today. We dig into the areas that most effect our communities, both micro and macro; and always try to make big topics digestible so that our understanding will lead to actions that will positively impact our communities.

S4 E3: Side Character Energy
CommuniTEA has entered the chat.
In this episode we talk about our reactions to reactions around the overturning of Roe v. Wade -- being in a 'we don't know what we don't know' era, chaotic TikTok comments, what makes us heated, buckling up for the long ride, and how we ended up in a corner of TikTok that was just cat videos and widows. This social experiment is weird!
In the episode we mention the work of creator @crutches_and_spice (which we highly recommend)
