This episode is part one of a two part series where Jasmin takes her BFF swimming with sharks at the Georgia Aquarium. He is naturally skeptical of ALL animals, the outdoors, the ocean and any situation where he isn't in direct control of his environment, but friends don't let friends live in their comfort zones! Tune is as Daniel (affectionately known as DD by Jasmin) and Jasmin discuss some of his hopes for the experience, fears and why the heck he agreed to do this. We will follow-up next week to see if he had the time of his life or if over a decade of friendship will be thrown down the drain because Jasmin convinced him to get into a shark tank. Hahahahahaha! Either way, it's bound to be a wild ride!

On this episode Jazz and Tri talk about their allyships, advocating for different communities and how you can be a better ally. Remember, being an ally takes work and constant learning.

From academia to personal relationships, they discuss when people have advocated for them and how those experiences went. Here is a link to a GREAT SNL skit talking about what allyship is (and is not) to the Black Community.
