Returned from her travels, Brandi dives into the topic of narcissism. She uses her personal experiences and the help of some explainer videos to set the scene for what narcissism is and how it is ingrained in society, and in white supremacy. She explains how being an empathetic person and entering a relationship with a narcissist is something that is complex and hurtful.

Question the Narrative
It's been a long, trying week for Brandi, but she is in the studio sharing her piece. Why do folks believe everything they read, whether it is from gossip or a news platform? What happens when all the information is not presented? Brandi dives into why she believe folks are so quick to accept negative information they hear about people who identify as Black.
What are the structural pieces to why this is the case? How do we catch ourselves when we do it, too? Listen in to Brandi's thoughts on this topic as well as her reactions to the election results from this week.
