Using their lived experiences, members of The Activist Collab and guests have conversations about things people are saying and doing that they think are helping a situation - the mental health, disability rights, racial justice - but are not.

Compassionately and with some humor we are setting the record straight! Let's see if we can retire the phrase "I know you meant well" once and for all.
