Attention white women: Black women have a lot going on right now and need a break from our check-ins. For many of us white people, we’re only beginning to scratch the surface of understanding what our Black brothers and sisters are up against just in their daily lives. While it’s good to have questions, your Black friends are not Google.

This week on The SimplyBe. Podcast, Jessica is amplifying the voice of Dana Nicole Anderson, a Chicago based artist and businesswoman. Dana is a no bullshit person and even called Jessica out in an email exchange. This helped set the groundwork for a loving conversation all about educating white women on the experiences of Black women and how to stop apology culture.

If you are outraged by the systemic racism in the United States, listen to this episode and educate yourself. This is just the start.
