The Falacy of the Mixed-race Utopia and the Women's March Revisited
Hello, dear Listeners!
We are back with a new episode! As we head into what this new year has in store for us and our country, we felt it apropos to revisit our experiences in the first historic Women's March in 2017. It was profound for me listening to this episode again, and it filled me with a new hope for 2019. I hope it does the same for you.
We wish you a beautiful holiday filled with joy and peace for you and the ones you hold dear.
All good things, always,
Rena with Hiwa and Lisa xo -
