Q&A

• What are some examples of "Black Excellence" that the hosts discuss in this episode?

  The hosts highlight Hemann Bekele, a 15-year-old scientist who invented a soap that can treat and prevent skin cancer, and Meela Jam, a pop singer, songwriter, dancer, and activist who is the first Black trans character in a major studio game.

• Why is the speaker so upset about Judge King's actions?

• What specific actions did the judge take that are being criticized in the lawsuit?

  The judge allegedly forced the teenager to wear a jail jumpsuit, handcuffed her, detained her for hours, and yelled at her for falling asleep in court. These actions are considered excessive and inappropriate for a minor who was not accused of any crime.
