<p>This is a little different than our usual episodes. Today, I want to share three clips that really helped me think about what happened to George Floyd and what we should do now. The first clip is from Roxie Washington, the mother of George Floyd's child (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzd-TpZCCP4">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzd-TpZCCP4</a>). Hearing the anger and the sadness in her voice... it's hard not to feel it as well. The second clip is from Trevor Noah, who gave a really clear analysis of what happened to George Floyd and the protests that followed. He has a very compelling response to people who divert the conversation to "looting" and I think his entire monologue is worth a listen (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4amCfVbA_c">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4amCfVbA_c</a>). Finally, I was really affected by a clip from Baratunde Thurston - a Black comedian and writer - who had some great advice for what we, especially we non-Black folks, can do (<a href="https://megaphone.link/VMP3333920477">https://megaphone.link/VMP3333920477</a>). </p>
