In this episode we are doing some inner-community work on why we should talk about black lives matter and how we should talk about it. There is a lot of vocabulary going around with tamil-terminology to educate about black lives matter. We figured that many of you might not be as fluent in tamil to use these words, so we tried to incorporate the essential points in this episode. Therefore our parents and other non-english speaking Tamils can listen and educate themselves.
