Bree & Leslie geek out about their shared love of childhood books series....even though they are supposed to be talking about all the stuff that has been going down over the past week. Eventually they discuss their reaction and actions to the white supremacy rally in Charlottesville, VA earlier this month.  Our friend Liz Marino (@coveredinbabies) joins us to help respond to questions we have received from white listeners and friends on how they can do better in the wake of the current racial climate in America. Liz talks to us about her own self-education and how she is raising bi-racial children. We navigate our difficult feelings about well-meaning white people and discuss practical ways that white people can do better.    Follow Something to Cry About on Instagram Like us on Facebook Follow Bree on Instagram Follow Leslie on Instagram Want to suggest a topic or guest for an upcoming episode?
