Williams. 5 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 1: So let's dive into our quote of the day. 6 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 2: All right, So our quote of the day comes to 7 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 2: us from Ebany K. Williams. There's no way around it. 8 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 2: The legal cases we hear about the news are shaping 9 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 2: social justice and popular culture. We need to dissect them 10 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 2: from a black perspective in a way that doesn't hold 11 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 2: back to you. 12 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: Yes, girl, So before we tell you why we love 13 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: Ebane's podcast and why we think you should tune in, 14 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: just to kind of set the foundation for this conversation. 15 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: Years ago, I had a very traumatic experience with a 16 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: Philadelphia police officer and basically, my sister, my cousin, and 17 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: I were going out, we were racially profiled and we 18 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: were stopped by the police officer and they never told 19 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: us why we were being pulled over, and some other 20 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: things transpired in that situation that I won't go into 21 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: detail into right now. But the reason I brought this 22 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 1: up is because listening to some of Ebanie's content really 23 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: made me think about this particular situation and how I 24 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: wish I would have tuned into her podcast prior to 25 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: this interaction with the police officer because it could have 26 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: gone a different way, right, And so I think we 27 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: should just dive right into don What do we love 28 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: about Holding Court with Evanie k Williams. 29 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 2: Well, I love, first of all, like what you just 30 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 2: pointed out right that the tips that Ebonie and her 31 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 2: co host Dustin provide are things that are useful to 32 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 2: us in our day to day life. So whether it's 33 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 2: about come servitorship, or children testifying and forward, or having 34 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 2: estate planning and having a will, like the day to 35 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 2: day things and getting stopped by the police, like day 36 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: to day things that we experience as black folks. Like 37 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 2: I love that they give these tips though they're clear 38 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 2: that this is not meant to be legal advice, but 39 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 2: they use real life examples of things that are happening 40 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 2: in the world around us that all of us are 41 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 2: paying attention to to provide us with those important legal insights. 42 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 2: I think another thing that I really love is how 43 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 2: real they are. Right, Like I was listening to one 44 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 2: episode and Ebony or Auntie E, as she likes to 45 00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 2: be called, said I don't care anything about it. As 46 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 2: they were talking about something that was happening in pop culture. 47 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 2: She was like, I don't, I don't, I don't care 48 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 2: about this, And she uses the F word so freely, 49 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 2: like there's a there's fuck here, fuck there, and and 50 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 2: I love I love that room.
