We sat down with Boukary Sawadogo, Ph.D, and Stephen Graves, Ph.D, to talk about Juneteenth -- how it started, how it’s honored and its context in today’s racial awakening in America. Hours before we recorded this episode, we learned that the senate passed #S475, making Juneteenth one step closer to becoming a federal holiday, and it brought up the question: What’s next? How do we maintain optimism, while moving away from performative activism, and tackling systemic racism head-on? Grab a drink and tune in to this powerful episode to learn all that and more from our knowledgeable guests.
