Good dialogue

But for some reason it’s disappeared. It’s been 3 months since an episode dropped. It would be nice if it came back.

Thank you for sharing these conversations. Deeply impactful and so important to bring about lasting change.
I’m pretty new to anti-racism so it’s been helpful for me to start framing and having the difficult conversations with my family and friends.
