Trigger Warning: Lesbiaphobic and misogynoiristic murder of minor Sakia Gunn was a 15 year old lesbian who was victim of a hate crime in 2003. Despite the national outcry for justice in other hate crime cases, Sakia’s case has gone largely under reported over the years.

As podcasters, we have a platform and duty to speak up and call out injustice. In light of the murder of George Floyd, we have come together in solidarity to use our platform to speak up against racial injustice and amplify the voices of black podcasters that deserve more recognition. Racism is prevalent in all industries; from the media who under-report on black victims to the justice system which routinely fails black victims. In this collaborative episode, we document black history and current events with the voices of those who have lived through it.
