Episode description

In this 10 min Monday, Melissa & Cody know an uncomfortable conversation needs to be had. They talk about why, as white people, racism is so difficult to discuss & discuss the actions we need to start taking. It's time for us to shut our mouths and open our ears. This is NOT a political conversation, it's about human rights.
