And so all these things coming together means that women aren't stuck in relationships that they don't want to be in

and women don't have to get married in order to have a sex life in order to be independent, to have an economic life

and that's a massive driver of social change.

Hi guys, welcome back to another episode of Girls Gotta Eat. Welcome back. We have a little more

somber tone today. We're going to get into it shortly. We're going to talk about some serious stuff with you guys

given what's happening in the world right now. We are going to address what's happening in our country right now.

We're going to speak on it. So I'll just start. I think that we're all aware what's going on right now.

This was all spurred by the murder of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis.

We all know he is not the first unarmed black man or woman to be killed by a white cop and he certainly won't be the last.

And it goes without saying we are horrified by this. We denounce racism of all kinds.

And we are going to dive into race deeper in a future episode. There is so much to say.

And we want to have a woman of color come on and speak about race and white privilege and intersectional feminism and being an ally.

And also talking about race with people you have relationships with because of the end of the day.

This is still a podcast about relationships romantic and otherwise.

But today we did want to take a moment to of course like I just said denounce racism of any kind and remind white people that it is not enough to just be not racist.

You should be anti racist. That is not an original quote that is a variation of a quote by Angela Davis who is a political activist and educator and author.

So just want to make that clear. But I post a lot of stories on my own Instagram about this.

You can I have a highlight on it. You know we are posting resources on girls got to eat as well.

And we will continue to do so for me from from my from my eyes personally.

I think the first place to start with with all of this with white people is just remembering that

as a white person you can't begin to understand what it's like to be black and you don't have the right to tell black people how they should feel act protests etc.

Those of us that are white are born with a privilege and if you're defensive at the term white privilege then we need to start there.
