Episode 53: Juneteenth and Devil in the Details

Gab with Gwen

Gwen and Slim reflect on the meaning of Juneteenth and corporations suddenly jumping on the #blacklivesmatter bandwagon. We discuss the revolution being televised, the dangers of the Black community looking to celebrities as leaders, and Allies needing to show up in a meaningful way and do the hard work to break down systematic racism, oppression and white supremacy. Stay tuned until the end of the episode as Gwen gives some HOT TAKES and examples of real action both Black folk and Allies can take right now to hold the powers that be accountable to actually make changes to positively impact the socioeconomic status of the Black community in America.
