Ep. 15: Get Your Fear Under Control, (White) America
Our EQ: How are many modern social problems fueled by fear and how can we use the emotion to our advantage to make social change?
We dig into the topic of fear sharing some of their deepest fears, discussing mass shootings, how arming teachers is asinine (that gun $$ tho), and why white people need to get over themselves--specifically when it comes to films such as Black Panther. Since recording, Black Panther has crossed over $1 BILLION mark!
