On this episode I’m joined by Boston based activist Akil Reynolds who currently works as a State Advocacy Manager for Community Catalyst: a health policy advocacy non-profit organization. In order to tell the story of how With Love & Rage came to be, it only felt right to tell this story with Akil who has been a part of every step on this journey. We unpack our firsts moments of politicization, white supremacy culture, the importance of uplifting platonic queer love, and how our current rage is pushing us to redefine our roles in this work.
