What was that you said? No, I didn't hear you. Can you repeat yourself? Clearly? LOUDER? Like you might actually believe it when you say it?

EQ has awakened from a long, tumultuous slumber with a simple plea - just spit it OUT already! Do you find yourself or your loved ones hiding behind not rocking the boat, thoughts like "someone should say it, but that someone just can't be me" or (gasp!) even..... propriety? Carrie and Jess are here to encourage you to abandon your collection of things left unsaid. Episode 5 wants you to say it with your chest. (And you can always blow 'em a kiss on the way out if it makes it easier). Discussion musings include, but not limited to: defensive verbal gymnastics as the street team for whiteness, drinking from the fountain of real talk as a cultural and communal process, and the relational fever pitch surrounding 'ghosting.' 

The Resmaa Menakem quote we couldn't remember!! “Trauma decontextualized in a person looks like personality. Trauma decontextualized in a family looks like family traits. Trauma in a people looks like culture.” — @ResmaaMenakem.
