n the Did you know Segment… Sunni and Lisa discuss some good news! Ben and Jerry’s (the ice cream guys) is a huge proponent of justice, equality and equity, huge! They also have a new vegan ice cream inspired by Colin Kaepernick called “Change the Whirled”.
Ben and Jerry compiled a series of good news stories on their IG page…stating “We’re not sad to see 2020 go. But despite the pandemic and all the other challenges, some good things really did happen this year…”. Some of the stories include: Record number voter turn-out, the Miami School System invested in Students (ikr, seems like a no-brainer), Renewable Energy hit a new high and LGBTQ Candidates won big all over the country in this years election. During the segment, the ladies also discussed St. Louis’s Workhouse Project. According to news.stlpublicradio.orgThe name “Workhouse” dates back to 1843. The city’s ordinance at the time said those committed to a similar institution would work off a fine or forfeiture before he or she could be released. In the early 1900s, the Workhouse was on St. Louis’ south side and inmates worked in nearby quarries, according to the St. Louis Public Library.
On this episode of Active Allyship…it’s more than a #hashtag! Sunni and Lisa discuss the holidays and what it means to them. Lisa is Jewish and celebrates Hanukkah and Sunni is non-denominational, celebrating Christmas in a way that many might consider non-traditional. Sunni is of the mindset that her presence and Love is sufficient, especially since she’s a giver throughout the year. Lisa on the other hand, shares Jewish traditions and one in particular that involves latkes and potato chips!
Holiday traditions, television shows, music etc. Lisa is fortunate enough to have snow and go sledding with the family… Sunni on the other hand, there is no snow, none! She’ll hangout with her boyz (standard poodles) Mr. Brown and Max and her big sister for the holidays!
The ladies also offer hints for next year’s podcast and what you can expect in the ActiveAllyship.Podcast IG space.
