Summary

Hey everyone, today we're revisiting an episode of The Breakdown that originally aired on July 14, 2022, but the question that we explored on that day is just as relevant now as it was then.

Join me as we dig into this important topic once again and explore why we must demand better for ourselves and our communities. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
