Shaun talks with the unabashed, uncensored, and unstoppable founder of The Tempest, Laila Alawa. As an American Muslim, Laila knows that not all corners of the country are ready to accept her with open arms, but earlier this year, she became the target of a right-wing hate campaign. Hear how it's reinforced her belief that an inclusive platform for millennial is important and necessary.

Shaun speaks with activist, writer, and Fulbright scholar Bernard Hayman about anti-Blackness, why it's useful to distinguish it from a broader term like "racism," and how easy it is to be passively anti-Black in America. I mentioned in this episode that Microsoft had, at one time, "bailed out" Apple. I got a few things wrong. First, I meant to say "100 million dollars," but said "one million" instead. Both are incorrect; it was $150 million. Second, it turns out that Microsoft's investment was likely not intended to save Apple. Further reading: https://www.wired.com/2009/08/dayintech_0806/, http://www.zdnet.com/article/stop-the-lies-the-day-that-microsoft-saved-apple/ We talked about Derek Black, the former white supremacist wunderkind.

The final episode of a ten part series looking at the aftermath of the Pulse shooting in Orlando, solely through the voices of members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Following the shooting, I began seeing members of the community openly worrying on social media, understandably for their lives, but also about the packaging of the attack both by major news outlets and elected officials. It seemed like coverage of the shooting was overwhelmingly formatted as cisgender, heterosexual people talking about members of the queer and Latinx community rather than talking to them. After frustrating hours of fruitlessly searching for perspective from the actual communities affected, I remembered that, in this modern world, I didn’t have to wait for any other outlet to have these conversations for me; I could do it myself. As I started thinking about the project, something else became painfully obvious to me: I couldn’t wrap my head around the weight of 49 lives lost.
