Perspectives on Local Elections & Bloodshed in Israel
Nov 07, 2023 Season 5 Episode 1
Angella Fraser & Leslie Osei-Tutu

The Besties start Season 5 with a  heady discussion about voting and the devastation caused by the war in Israel. 

Today is Election Day in the US where many local and state representatives will be decided.  Since few voters realize the impact of these elections on their day-to-day lives, focusing instead on the presidential ones every 4 years, Leslie & Angie make a plea for getting out and making all voices be heard.

Conceding that this is not a politically-based podcast, they find it important to add their views on the bloodshed in southern Israel and Gaza to the cacophony of opinions.

In fact this podcast was created to bring the perspectives of two free-thinking 60-something year old Black women from Brooklyn. And bring it they did.
