Listen "Georgia On My Mind"
Episode Synopsis
Well, when we recorded this episode, we had no idea a mob was about to storm the Capitol of the United States, so if this a little tone deaf, that's why. But we hold to our passion and love for better understanding the people we judge. Georgia, Georgia, Georgia... is on our mind.
Ashley shares her conversation with a dear friend Crystal Marie, who lives in the South. Crystal lamented the way the coastal cities tend to talk about the South, as if the whole place is uneducated, racist, and backwoods.
The truth is, it's the bedrock of the civil rights movement, home of the best BBQ in America, and while racism is real, it's a place of community and neighborliness. On the flip side, folks say California will fall into the ocean. Seattle is corrupt because Jeff Bezos lives there. New York is elitist and expensive.
We have so many opinions about who people are. We judge people we don't know and places we've never been, and if we are going to heal our great divide, we must stop this.
Dr. Barbara Shabazz says that our dividing walls laid flat become bridges. It's time to build some bridges. This episode will help you if you struggle with judging others or if you don't understand other regional areas of America. Though not exhaustive, we do hope this will bless you as you heal and recover from 2020 and this election season. We love y'all. Solidarity, for real.
