Welcome back to Shoptalkpodcast Episode 196.

This week, J and Dame catch up on their week and dive into a few trending topics—including Harriet Tubman appearing on a Visa card, the man punching the back of a passenger’s seat on a plane, and all things Valentine’s Day.

They’re also joined in the studio by Darwin Filey, Regional Manager of the Social Justice Ministry. Darwin and his team break down the upcoming 2020 U.S. Census and why it matters for Black communities in particular. The conversation touches on the fears some people have around filling out the census, how census data affects resources and representation, and the timeline and process for completing it. It’s an informative and necessary discussion.
