Episodes 210-220 were recorded in advance, and within a week of each other. Given the situation of the world right now, I felt it necessary to not only have a long conversation with Mandisa, but to pre-empt the currently scheduled episodes by a week for this one. If you've followed the show even a little bit, you'll know Mandisa as a wonderful woman, the founder of Black Nonbelievers, an organizer, an atheist, a powerful speaker, an activist, and an amazing giver of hugs. This conversation will hopefully help us learn more about organizing, the systemic oppression and violence that black people face and have been facing for a long time in this country, and how to balance conversations with when to speak up and when to listen. And, if you can, donate to Black Nonbelievers. I made a donation before this episode. You should too. : https://blacknonbelievers.com/donate/
