When’s the last time you had a Toni Morrison book read to you? Like, by Margaret Atwood, Tayari Jones (An American Marriage), Brit Bennett (The Vanishing Half), and more?

And importantly, how is this situation even worse for people who aren’t as rich or White as some of us listening to this podcast?
Today we’re excited to have Ji Seon Song return to the podcast to talk about her new research (and soon to be published note in the Harvard Law Review!) regarding the problematic role and presence of police in emergency rooms, and what medical providers - and laypeople - may want to consider about how patients’ information are handled in that setting.

These groups often were the most decorated in combat, but faced segregation and disparate treatment while part of the active military, and, upon returning home, found themselves the target of racism, persecution, or worse.
If these stories are new to you too, we invite you to listen, so we can stop history from continuing to repeat itself.
Help us celebrate all of our veterans on this Veterans’ Day. Thank you for your service.

Read MoreIf we want sponsorship, we must remain non-partisan and can’t talk about political affiliation. We’re here to say that we aren’t seeking sponsorship on those terms, and we don’t believe talking about voting for Biden in 2020 means we are partisan – we believe we are voting FOR HUMANITY.
This may be an explicit episode, so if you’ve got kids who can’t hear the f-bomb, maybe put your headphones on.

Read MoreMotherhood in the United States is intrinsically linked with Whiteness.
It’s time we confront that stereotype and break it down because there are MANY models of motherhood that are normal - and especially given how much this country is in desperate need of love, nurturing, and the willingness to fight for our children, we need to celebrate all of the mother figures in this country.
