El Libro de August

El Libro de August

This week I am joined by the multifaceted host of Check Please! Podcast, Arielle. This week we discuss using social media to shed light on injustices that do not initially get Media coverage (RIP Elijah McClain), seeking justice for Vanessa Guillen by exposing the culture of sexual harassment/abuse in the military, improving Black and Brown relations *Craig from Friday Voice* and starting a trend of high ranked athletes committing to HBCUs. Introspective Moments highlights how powerful and necessary the August Alsina interview ,with Angela Yee, along with his stateofEMERGEncy: The Rise of August Alsina documentary is in addressing the trauma and healing within the Black community.
