On Tuesday, I dedicated this YouTube episode of Podcasting Your Purpose to the “Podcasters for Justice Campaign” and it’s even more timely given the fact that today, we are taking time to eulogize Mr. George Floyd.
“We believe that to be silent is to be complicit.” “We believe that Black lives matter.” “We believe that Black lives are more important than property.” “We believe that we have a responsibility to use our platforms to speak out against this injustice whenever and wherever we are witness to it.”
In creating digital media we have built audiences that return week after week to hear or read our voices and we will use our voices to speak against anti-blackness and police brutality, and we encourage our audiences to be educated, engaged, and to take action.
