The Root (w/ Femme Family)

September 07, 2018

We believe that if you harm then you must heal. In this episode we're joined by our Femme Fam collective to talk about how accountability and apologies look like when you're committed to collective growth and healing. We talk through recent (disappointing) apologies from rappers we love and (lazy) apologies from institutions. Apologizing and accountability plant seeds for self and collective healing when you get to the root.
