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) Find us: ig @communitea.pod

    S3 E3: The Vax Chapter

    On this week's episode we talk through our thoughts on the COVID vaccine. How did we feel about it 6 months ago? What have we taken into account when deciding whether we would take it? Do we plan to? Did we always feel this way? What information made a difference for us, expected and unexpected? In such an important time about such an important topic, we wanted to have a real conversation about the feelings that come along with this: reservations, excitement, fear, hope, and more. We share resources we have used to read up on all things COVID and vaccine: Unbiased Science (@unbiasedscipod on insta), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and Immunize.org And from our section on recommendations that are not related to COVID: Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell (Netflix), Kali Uchis (Spotify), and atimeandaplaylist (& follow them on instagram)
