Episode 15: On the Recent U.S. Elections and How To Move Forward As Creatives and Justice Seekers
We’re back!! Well, sort of. We had no intention of bringing this show back after we ended it in 2022, but in light of everything that’s happening in our world right now, we felt the need to get back on the mics one more time. In this special one-off episode of The Takeback Podcast, we share our thoughts on the recent U.S. elections and try to provide a bit of encouragement and advice to our fellow women of color creatives, justice seekers, and allies on how to navigate this strange and discouraging moment in history. Learn more about our show at jesspillaymusic.com/podcast.
