Summary: Brittany Packnett—activist, teacher & co-founder of Campaign Zero sits down with Michele and Igor to discuss the FBI targeting so-called “black identity extremists,” like the Black Lives Matter movement advocates she worked with during the aftermath of Michael Brown’s killing in Ferguson, Missouri. Packnett also discusses how the whiteness of the Las Vegas shooter colored how the media covered him, how white people can use their privilege to be good allies, code switching, and the worst Dove commercial of all time. Michele and Igor also speak with Rashad Robinson, executive director of Color of Change, about the power of collective voices to change narratives.
