Dr. Bedford Palmer and Dr. LaMisha Hill reflect on gentrification & homeownership in the Bay Area. They also discuss what it means to be an Ally, via two articles; the first by W. Kamau Bell and the next by Eric Adelson. In both articles they discuss a missed opportunity by Michael Phelps in choosing to carry the American Flag during the Rio Olympics Opening Ceremony instead of making space for Ibtihaj Muhammad. Also there is a #LaMishaRant on dealing with privileged tall people on BART and the self-care tip of the week. Listen carefully to the opening and you might just hear Bedford sing.
