We’re continuing with our podcast blackout this week in an effort to amplify the black voices speaking out against racial injustice in our country. In the meantime, we’re working to bring more diverse perspectives into our regular content — stay tuned in the coming weeks for more advice for our younger selves with several special guests who can add their own experiences into the mix, which may be completely different (or surprisingly similar) to our own.
We recognize that there is still so much work to be done in this fight for equality, and we’re committed to continue fighting for equality, liberty, and justice. Today, we want to take a moment to recognize just a few of the names of the black folx whose lives have been cut short by police since 2014. We say their names to remember and honor their lives, and to remind ourselves and others just how far we still have to go.
