This is an unplanned episode. Yasmin and Laura were talking off the record, but the mic was recording. With Yasmin's permission, we are sharing this story.
The blog post we reference from Luvvie Ajayi can be found here.

Early in our friendship, Yasmin and I realized that we had pretty different perspectives on most things pop culture. So many factors (and especially our racial makeup) affects how we see everything from music to movies to the Great American Novel.
In this episode, we talk about Beyonce, Black Panther, Get Out, Michael Jackson, and more. And Yasmin has a SHOCKING (to me) opinion about one of America's most beloved novels.

This episode is all about racial identity, and how it matters.
I'm speaking with my friends Jason & Yvonne Lee, actors and producers here in Los Angeles.
I met Jason & Yvonne through our children, and in our very first conversation we ended up talking for hours about Jason's story of being a black man adopted and raised by a white family. He and his wife Yvonne have really interesting things to say about racial identity, and why it matters.
There are so many layers to this conversation. Make sure you listen all the way until the end.
