What Changing the World Looks Like w/Kahlila Williams
You may have seen her in a Levi’s PSA, read about her in an LA times article, or heard her out on the street fighting to make black lives matter in our schools. People Magazine calls her one of the Girls Changing The World. We call her Kahlila Williams. In this episode, we talk about advocacy, why we must defund the police, why there is a racial divide when it comes to vaccines, what organizing in a pandemic looks like, and “just doing it.” This episode is one for the books, and it's out now(!), so tune in on the platform of your choice and share it with your friends!
