In this Shrinks After Hours, we take a look at our expectations of leadership and some of the many bizarre behaviors that are sometimes tolerated.
Minimum Wage
The one in which we talk about the real reasons behind the Minimum Wage and who stands to benefit the most from the way it is structured.
Getting Vaxxed
The one in which we discuss the COVID Vaccine rollout and some highlighted racial inequities that we’ve seen.
Trouble with Taxes
With the impending tax deadline, taxes were on our minds. So, we decided to look into the systems of taxation and begin to explore racism within. We knew we’d find racism there; and we did.
A Female VP
In this Shrinks After Hours episode, we chat about how we feel about having a woman in high office. Whether this would happen in our lifetime was questionable at many points, yet… here we are with a woman Vice President of the U.S.
Marital Property
The one in which we explore the sexist, racist, patriarchal beginnings of the institution of marriage and how it has changed over the years; or has it?
Monuments to Power
The one in which we explore two of the most popular, and controversial, monuments in the U.S: Mount Rushmore in South Dakota and Stone Mountain in Stone Mountain Park, Georgia.
The Black Panthers
The one in which we talk about the Black Panther Party (originally the Black Panther Party for Self Defense). We wade through all of the stereotypes to try to truly understand this critical Black Power movement.
Insurrections
The one in which we talk about insurrections – what they are and how they come and go. We attempt to understand the events of January 6, 2021 at the US Capitol building and what brought us to this place in history.
Blinders
The one in which we talk After Hours about how our whiteness and our privilege makes us blind to much that goes on around us – what we are learning about it, and what we are doing about it.
Turns out that despite the old cliche, what we don’t know (or can’t see) really can hurt us (and others).
