The Eastbay Magazine Appreciation Episode
Imagining A Different World
This episode of #NoWednesday is part vent session, part exploration. In the wake of the news that the killers of Breonna Taylor won't be charged for it, Emmanuel gets vulnerable about Blackness in America and wanting to get away, even if just in imagination.
