Happy 4th of July, sisters! When we think of this particular holiday, it’s all about backyard fun & fireworks. But considering our political climate today, we brought in actor, activist and our friend Kendrick Sampson on this show this week to speak on current issues & subjects we usually feel uncomfortable talking about. Kendrick’s activism revolves around reforming the criminal justice & immigration system while advocating for intersectional racial justice as a whole.
Before we into it, Paulina and Bricia recap how their keeping up with the World Cup (Remember, drink a tablespoon of apple cider with warm water in the morning) & the progress of our GoFundMe Campaign.
We talk …
Our relationship being bi-cultural and embracing both of our countries
What it means to be an American POC today
Speaking to our kids about current political issues without “dumbing” it down
Being comfortable asking uncomfortable questions
Oppression associated with the American Flag
The word “minority” & the US census
How to chose an issue to advocate for
& overall getting more WOKE
You can follow Kendrick on Instagram, Facebook & Twitter as @Kendrick38.
