If you are looking for some fun entertainment this summer that does not involve the use of your eyes, throw on RomComPods, the new romantic comedy fiction podcast recently released by my friend Becca Freeman! It’s already wildly popular (probably something to do with that major feature at the top of Apple Podcasts?). For those seeking something light and fun while they cook dinner, fold laundry, or sink slowly into a poolside lounge chair, press play.
RomCom Pods
After a lot of listening, learning and reflecting over the past week, I’m eager to enact change—lasting, meaningful change. Becoming a better anti-racist ally means reevaluating how we think, how we act, how we treat each other, and yes—how we shop! This week, while listening to some helpful, eye-opening podcasts (like this one!) I spent some time discovering many incredible black-owned businesses online. Below, I’m sharing eleven products I’ve purchased that I can’t wait to try and of course, I’ll report back on each once they get here! I hope you’ll join me in thinking a little differently about where and who you’re buying from and how our shopping practices can be more inclusive every day.
P.S. I also included several children’s books that I purchased last weekend along with anti-racism resources in this week’s Monday Memo. Click here if you missed it!
