Episode notes
It’s our 300th episode LIVE streamed from Oasis TV! Nnekay is back to celebrate this moment, we reminisce about the genesis of this podcast 6 years ago on the heels of Michael Brown, and with the verdict of the murder of George Floyd, how much has changed? Don Lemon had a questionable response to the killing of 16 year old Ma’Khia Bryant, and we hear Nnekay’s thoughts as a new mother. We dish on the blackest thing Marvel has ever done, no not Black Panther: Falcon + Winter Soldier. In the first Korner James walks us through the remarkable trailblazer who’s shoulders we all stand on Pauli Murray, intersectional royalty, who you probably never heard of, but we all owe a lot. Then the Queen of Craft Nnekay walks us through the racism happening in the craft world because, yes, racism is everywhere! And it’s back! Quizlet Korner!
