Hey, this is Duret. I'm going to positive the people in this episode. It's me, Kaya, DRMiles, talking about the under-appointed news from the past week regarding race justice and equity.

No interview this week because we had a lot to catch up on after the Labor Day weekend. We talk about the Queen's passing, Jay-Z's comments on well, everything happening with blackness, one Broadway, and a couple other things too.

We are excited to have this conversation this week.

Am I right for this week is to do the cool thing while you can. One of my best friends in the world is likely going to move to another country for a couple months because he has the time and flexibility and job to do it right now.

And it's like, you know what, as much as I'm going to miss him, I'm so pumped that he is like taking this big risk and going to another country and living in that moment didn't get to study abroad when he was in college.

And it's like, I love when people walk into the fear, the big decisions, the things that our parents didn't have the option to do.

So think about the big thing in front of you, the scary thing, the thing that you have a million reasons why you can't or doesn't make sense and see if you can lean into that. Here we go.

So this week we lost Queen Elizabeth. There's been lots and lots of mixed feelings around this woman's life and now her death.

Of course, huge RIP to Queen Elizabeth, but in my mind what all comes together is the song from Wizard of Oz when the Wicked Witch is dead.

I'm not saying she's a Wicked Witch. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying because of my trauma around white women. That's what pops into my mind.

Wow, portrayal in all of them. But again, RIP, no disrespect, especially to her black brand style. I'm just saying. That's what comes in my mind.

I don't know what feels the rest of this family has around it. You know, there's some things I can say about Colonial is, you know, be real smart about it.

But I think just inherently like deep, deep down like that is what that is what came to me when I heard about her passing.
