EP 003: #MakeitMakeSense Casey Goodson Jr., Brandon Bernard, Compensating Black Women and Biden's Plans for Our Communities

In this episode, host Ambur C. Smith, Esq., elevates and explores the contradictions that define America's social, political and legal status quo. To do so more consistently, she introduces the #MakeitMakeSense segment, inspired by the lyrics of "Gone" by Alex Isley and Jack Dine,  and the perfect rhetorical refrain when grappling with the police killing of Casey Goodson Jr. in Columbus, Ohio, the execution of Brandon Bernard 20 years after he was sentenced to death, Tiffany Haddish's decision to decline the Grammy's half-baked invitation for her to host this year's award show and Electoral College. In the usual My Two Cents segment, Ambur will read and respond to excerpts of Biden's plans for Black America, the African Diaspora and Women. In doing so, she hopes to provide a legitimate rubric by which to judge the incoming Administration. Follow Ambur on Instagram @burspeaks for announcements regarding the next episode.
