Day 163 and we speak to creator and podcaster Lenni
in her uber-insulated bathroom she podcasts from in Downtown LA in
the US.
Today we meet the first of our podcasters in the
POD2POD series.
I met Lenni at the very beginning of my journey into podding here
in LA and I cannot be more thankful for her wise words at this
time.
The 2020 Black Lives Matter protests initially sparked by the
murder of George Floyd quickly spread across the nation from June
2020 and worldwide - in what was an unprecedented scale of civil
protest and what is now being called the largest protest movement
in US history.
Lenni and I spoke back in August as the protests began to die down
and we shared a desire to keep this action in people's hearts and
minds.
She shares intimate observations and feelings of the protests from
her vantage point in Downtown LA and spoke incredibly openly about
what this time has sparked in her and what this says about the
broader picture of growing up as a young black woman in
America.
Inevitably conversation turned to the election and the political
upheaval in the US which led me to think today, November 3 - the
last day of the vote - would be the right time to hear Lenni's
powerful words.
