BLACKTOBER: Let's Talk About The Projects
Did you know that the federal government used policies to segregate America back in the 1930's? By building housing projects, redlining neighborhoods, and denying Black and Brown people access to housing, government agencies shaped America's neighborhoods as we know them today. But how can we break the negative stigma surrounding housing projects today? Also, what can be done about improving the living conditions of tenants now? Listen to this episode to learn more.

BLACKTOBER: Respectability Politics Won't Save You
This week, we're talking about respectability politics and how it relates to the word "coon" and "shucking and jiving". We also discuss why subscribing to respectability politics will not save you or make you the exception to the rule.
Respectability politics: "When minority and/or marginalized groups are told (or teach themselves) that in order to receive better treatment from the group in power, they must behave better or present themselves as being different from the group at large.”

In our Season 4 finale, we're talking about grief. Grief isn't something we talk about enough but we really should be.

Season 5 will kick off September 22nd!
