We Had The Talk About Being Black in a Pandemic

In this episode co-hosts Jasmin and Kiana Brooks speak with special guest Daud Mumin about what this past year has been like for Black people in America. Specifically, this episode dives into how the COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted Black people, whether considering infection, hospitalization and death rates, unemployment, or the impact of stay-at-home orders/social distancing guidelines. This is coupled with the continued anti-Black racism that has sparked a resurgence of controversial political movements like Defund the Police. Ultimately, this episode speaks to the revolutionary nature of hope, and seeks to re-define what activism can look like in the role of every individual.
