Hey Friends & Kin!
FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE CONTAIN PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way...
_________
This episode is a conversation about the discrepancies around authentic protesting & its long-term effects on our lives. My guest & I took a deep dive as we discussed so many of our thoughts around race, politics, the former “leader” of America (I use the term LEADER loosely), police brutality, protests, the savages that “stormed the capitol” on January 6th & so much more. My guest, Gregory Butler shares w/us the results of choosing to rebel during civil unrest & what that can look like – LOUD AND IN LIVING COLOR. Gregory is known for his participation in the Freddie Gray Uprising. Learn how he got the name, “Gas Mask Greg”. In this discussion he shares, firsthand the events that led up to the day of the uprising & What took him over the edge? We talk about trauma, loss, anxiety, rage and the desire for liberation. The topic of how we both feel about the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020 came up and it may not be met with smiles. Please don’t think the conversation is heavy & not funny – it’s Hand Me My Purse, for goodness sake. We laugh, share vulnerabilities & definitely some very strong opinions. I hope you enjoy this episode, it was pretty dope & I'm honored that Gregory saw fit to share his story with me!
MeMe’s Jam was a special one. Please find it in your heart to support this amazing artist – you will see how you can do just that in her IG bio, which you can find here.
