We have to do more.

I’m not quite sure where to begin. I see my friends and the people in my networking talking about Black Lives Matter, the protests, all of it. I want to affirm that I’m all for justice and the fair treatment of the Black community. I have this platform, but I’m not quite sure what to say. The truth is, I’m not well-versed or even well-educated about this issue… and I want to be. 

This is the episode where I ask questions and try to process through what’s been happening. Though, I’m not doing it alone. I have my friends Rashaan and Andre here to help explain the Black experience in America, to shed light on the issues at hand, and where we can go as a nation from here. 

I’m thankful to have my brothers here to help me work through what’s been going on surrounding the murder of George Floyd. It’s a somber time in this country, and I hope that wherever you are that you’re safe and doing what you can to help heal the pain.
