Read Out Loud (with Bridget Todd)

DeRay, Kaya, Myles and De'Ara cover the underreported news of the week— including a judge's criminalization of mothers who report domestic abuse, Black women targeted by big Pharma, Black Americans leading the NFT/crypto revolution, and the trials and triumph of artist Campbell Addy. DeRay interviews activist and speaker Bridget Todd about the roots of the internet, the impact that it has, and why it disproportionately harms women, communities of color, and LGBTQ folks.
