Description:

Somatic Abolitonist, Resmaa Menakem, shares a true story about racial discrimination between the police and his family. 

He also challenges the hell out of me. 

Man, this was a good one, very intense. I learned a ton. 

I continue to learn about how me, as a white heterosexual male, can improve in the area of race, equity and diversity. 

This is a pretty charged episode. Trigger warning. 

Check it out.
