🖤 But first, a quick recap:

If you missed Episode 1, we kicked off the season with a live taping of the Black in Solidarity Press Conference at the Black Women for Wellness headquarters. The panel featured powerful community leaders like Nana Gyamfi, Baba Akili, Torrence Brannon-Reese, Elice Hennessee, Vanessa Aramayo, Angelica Salas, and Kevin Cosney — and sparked an urgent conversation about the rise in ICE activity, immigrant justice, and the connection to Black liberation.

That foundation brings us here. Today’s episode digs into what’s unfolded since the press conference, what’s happening now in Los Angeles, and what solidarity looks like in practice — from our own backyard to broader movements for justice.
