The following podcast is a dear media production.

Hey guys, welcome back to Breaking Beauty Podcast.

I am one of your co-host Jill Dunn, and I'm

Carleen Higgins.

So you guys, we wanted to let you know that we are holding our regularly scheduled

programming until next week and the whole reason that we are doing this is in

support of hashtag the show must be paused and we're not going to chat for too long because the whole purpose of not

airing our show is to make space for Black Voices who, frankly, they just have more important things to say right now than we do as to beauty

editors.

Having said that we're just going to spend a few minutes sharing some of the articles and podcast that you can be reading and listening to instead and we're

going to link to everything we mentioned on our blog at breaking beauty podcast.com and in our show

notes. I just want to say personally podcast. I'm a mom I'm a white woman I acknowledge my inherent privilege and I see other people like my friends

who are really talking about the fear that they have for their children because

their children are black or biracial and I feel like as a mom it's just

important for me to acknowledge that privilege that I know I don't have to worry about you know probably my son

when he's a teenager going out and like being shot because he's jogging through the wrong neighborhood or like my husband and it feels like it's so obvious it

should be going without saying but I feel like I need to acknowledge it anyway it's

just it's not right and things have got to change.

That's right and I think that neither of us are ever going to fully understand the black experience

but we do know when it's time to mute ourselves and listen instead of talk.

Exactly.

For me personally, I have done a lot of reading and reflecting this week.
