Meg:


Social injustice has become extremely prevalent this past year. The Black Lives Matter movement has come to prominence following the death of George Floyd. We wanted to take this month’s episode to spread awareness on social injustices and systemic racism. Before creating this episode, I knew about what was happening, but only to a certain extent. Upon researching the injustices and horrific accounts that so many black people face, I knew I wanted to use my voice, however big or small that may be. Eshaan and I decided to do this episode not only to inform others, but ourselves in the process. I want to know how people are being treated, and the ways we can move towards societal progress to eliminate these racial injustices. This episode was only the beginning. I think it is so important to keep on learning, sharing, and using my voice. If you can, please take a look at the links in the description of this episode to donate, share, and spread the message of the Black Lives Matter movement.


Eshaan:


This was a very important episode to do to bring more awareness to the Black Lives Matter Movement. I found this episode to be very interesting because I found a lot of statistics regarding Black men and women in the STEM field. To find such a low percentage of Black people as active physicians was shocking for me. It is important for people to use their voice to raise awareness about what is going on right now. By doing this episode, Meg and I were using our voices to create awareness but also inform others about the percentages of Black people in the STEM field. Meg and I also learnt more about the Black Lives Matter Movement and more about the protests that are going on around the world. It is super important to educate yourself and that is exactly what Meg and I wanted to do. To conclude, we included links to donate to and petitions to sign, so please definitely do those!
