    • Society & Culture

2020 isn’t just the year of COVID. It’s a year of crossroads. And there is no turning back now amid this historic social justice movement, with millions taking their rallying cries to the streets *during a pandemic*
On this week’s episode, we are joined by one of the founders of the Black Lives Matter movement, Alicia Garza to discuss her new book, ”The Purpose of Power: How We Come Together When We Fall Apart.” Garza drops gems, rubies and pearls about the history of the Black Lives Matter movement and explains the importance of voting in this upcoming election.
Also joining us this episode is HuffPost UK producer and friend of the show, Jayson Mansaray, to discuss Black History Month in the UK, which is commemorated in October. We talk about the legacy of the celebratory month, the racism Meghan Markle experienced at the hands of the British press, and how the Black Lives Matter movement in the US has influenced protests and discourse in the UK. 
Lastly, we discuss virtual homecomings and the new trailer for Cheaters with “Love & Hip Hop New York’s” own creep squad captain Peter Gunz, and much more. And THAT’S That!
