Episode 4
Chris interrupts the regularly scheduled podcast with a necessary reflection on the killings of members of our Black community such as George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and so many others that have ignited outrage and protests both in the United States and around the world. This, too, has very much to do with storytelling. Chris discusses how now, more than ever, it is imperative that we read stories by and about less privileged identity positions than our own.
