In the midst of a global pandemic, a widespread collective awakening is simultaneously occurring. This awakening to white supremacy, systemic racism, and to the mistreatment of the Black community is long overdue. Through their exploration of identity and activism, Zulaikha and Gia reflect on the BLM movement, and how white supremacy and privilege has deliberately dehumanized Black communities, specifically in North America. They open up the first of many discussions about race and anti-blackness. In talking about their own unlearning, they observe how systems of oppression pervade the many layers of being human, and how we can use the energy of this movement to reimagine a more equitable society.
