This episode is so special to us. We were lucky enough to get to sit down (via the internet of course) and talk with one of our favorite human beings, Rahni Ragins. We have an open discussion about our world and the racism that permeates it. We want our community to know that we, ourselves are continuously learning, evolving, and working on being a better ally to the people we love. We know that we are not perfect and that we won’t get this right in a day, or even in a podcast episode. This conversation will be evolving, there will be more! We encourage anyone who has questions, comments, etc. to reach out to us, let's get better, and do better. 

P.S. Below you’ll find some amazing resources
