NEW MK328: Reclaiming Woke (Dionne Warwick on Twitter, Critical Race Theory, Vin Diesel vs. The Rock, Kyle Rittenhouse, Ahmaud Arbery)

Episode notes

So coming at you fresh off twitter its Dionne Warwick and she wants to know why did you name yourself that? And her various feuds with mayonnaise, Oreos and Burger King. Speaking of feuds we continue our obsession with the ongoing one of Vin Diesel VS The Rock, because regardless of gender we all fight! In the main Korner Lauren discusses  CRT or Critical Race Theory which has been on the minds of the nation for sometime now as she breaks it all down what it is, who’s studying it, and why it’s important. And at the end James reacts to the recent verdicts around the murder of Ahmaud Arbery, and the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse. 

Guest Co-Host: Lauren Carter:

Lauren M. Carter is a Software Engineer in Silicon Valley with a track record for leading engineering teams that build consumer products. In addition to her technical role, Lauren is a long time distance runner turned tri-athlete.  She’s competed on some of the largest and most successful Track Clubs and Triathlon teams in the US. When not engaging in fitness or tech, you can find Lauren with a glass of wine in hand probably having a discussion about gardening.
