Over the past year and a half, America has been dealing with an internal reckoning. It has been pushed to headlines across the country that centuries of inequities have been endured by People of Color and, specifically by Black people within the United States of America. From violence at the hands of law enforcement officers to underrepresenation in bookstores across America, we realize that the Black experience and the popularized American expereince are two very different realities. To combat the issue of underrepresenation in bookstores, which will have the domino effect of improving conditions for Black people as a whole, Victoria Scott-Miller and her family started Liberation Station Bookstore, a space where books that focus on children's books for demographics whose stories are often overlooked. On the episode, we chop it up about everything from parenthood to travel to the Liberation Station and how it came about. Since Victoria is a Tennessee native, we had to have a solid pour of Uncle Nearest 1884, the Black-owned whiskey that was named in honor of the formerly enslaved man who taught America's most known whiskey name to make whiskey.
