River Donaghey grew up in a cult. Or at least that’s what some people called it. His parents called it a “personal-growth seminar group.” Its leader called it “one big happy family.” But there was a dark side to the world River grew up in. One he never heard about as a kid. In the 1970s and 80s, a self-help company called Lifespring took America by storm.

As we are all - or should be - aware, we are in the middle of a pivotal moment in our history. Following the deaths of Brionna Taylor - a 27 yr old frontline worker who was innocently gun downed by law enforcement in her own home - and George Floyd, who was questioned about using a fraudulent bill, detained and crushed under the weight of an officer for over 8 minutes and died from his injuries, peaceful protests, demonstrations and social media movements calling for police reform and racial justice have now taken place for the past week in all 50 states.
Changing the format of our small New Orleans podcast is not going to change laws or the systematic racism that plagues our country, but (name) and I couldn’t find it in us to deliver a humorous story to our followers this week. We’re not in a jovial mood and our world is not in a jovial spirit.
Black Lives Matter.
A change needs to be made and it needs to be made now. We do not have the answers, but we know our friends in the black community have struggled with injustices that we as white women will never understand.
For our small part, we want to promote black-owned businesses in New Orleans and ways that you can donate and help make a change!
