We Can Talk About This Emily Morgan

In this week's episode Emily provides an update on the case involving the death of Quawan Charles and encourages listeners to follow @snatched_galore for the most up to date information from the family. Emily also gives her thoughts on America's new(ish) presidential administration, calls listeners to action in their own communities, and breaks down the basic ideological differences between liberals and leftists.

In this first episode, Emily introduces the why behind the podcast and jumps right into the spirit of the show by highlighting the death of 15-year-old Quawan 'Bobby' Charles who was found dead in a sugar cane field in Louisianna. Emily then briefly explores the historical context and significance of the relationship between sugar cane and the black body.
