While protests against police violence are making headlines, less attention has been paid to an issue that affects the lives and livelihoods of black people every day... racism in the workplace. On our next program, we'll hear stories about how racism has persisted for working black Americans and consider ways to address it.
We'll also get the latest on covid in the Bay Area, and we'll chat with local cellist, composer, vocalist and clinical psychologist, Mia Pixley, who performs under the alias "Baeilou."
