We are Giants stands with Black Lives Matter.
Episode 3 of We are Giants examines racist and ableist ideologies in Canada during a raw conversation with singer/songwriter, vlogger, and wheelchair awareness advocate, Agasha Mutesisira. This episode is not only my, Mallory's, first attempt at recording and editing an interview it is also my way of showing up in solidarity with BLM and the black community both locally and globally. Come engage with the relevant worldly transformations taking place with an episode that offers a happy medium between staying informed and the toll that constant activism and our current climate can take on each of us.
This episode is dedicated to all the voices who have been silenced, now and through all of history, and to all of us who continue to fight, unlearn, and survive the prevalent, systemic racism present in our world.

We are Giants' first episode, "A Giant Change" talks about the world in all its heart wrenching, beautiful, ever-changing shittyness and.. not so shittyness. ... it also lays the groundwork for future episodes, explores what WaG will look like, who your host, Mallory is, and why what is happening within contemporary western society needs to be chatted about.
