Summary

In this episode, we’re talking with Sophie Williams, AKA OfficialMillennialBlack on Insta, about her upcoming book, not centering whiteness, and the love triangle between fatphobia, racism, and misogyny.


Call to Action: Read “What, to Black Lives, is the 4th of July?” by Antwan Herron. Read, reflect, and share this piece over this weekend — the 4th. Remember that when we call July 4th “Independence Day,” who that Independence included. 


“This Fourth of July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn. To drag a man in fetters into the grand illuminated temple of liberty, and call upon him to join you in joyous anthems [is] inhuman mockery and sacrilegious irony.” - Frederick Douglass
