Hi yβall! ππ½ Sharon Hurley Hall is back to explore the profound impacts of rising fascism, white supremacy, and systemic oppression on black and marginalized women globally. We dug into the ripple effects on employment, mental health, community, and the importance of collective action and love in building a better future. We get specific about how well-meaning folks can take action in this moment to protect and uplift the most marginalized who are being systemically targeted. And don't forget to support & uplift our work! Join Sharon's Anti-Racism Newsletter and join our membership to support our tech costs & receive extra resources & our private podcast.
