This episode is very pleasing to me and my homecestors. We are joined by Brianna, Franchesca, Zuly, and Aliza from MCLA's Women of Color Initiative (WOCI). After some really heavy and important episodes, this is just a fun conversation that ranges from celebrity crushes to conspiracy theories. We thought collabing with WOCI would be the best way to end Women's History Month. Enjoy! Today (3/31/21) is the LAST day to enter the raffle!

This is an extremely candid conversation between the leaders of MCLA's Black Student Union about the tone-deaf placement of Public Safety's "Community Outreach" office in between MERC and The Women's Center/IGE. We speak openly and honestly about how hurt and unheard we feel about this decision. The third floor is a student space and Public Safety makes us feel unsafe. Please share this podcast and message us about your feelings on the topic.  Email tv4756@mcla.edu with our action item to be entered into the raffle.  Visit our website if you'd like to be a guest.
