“Stop Hating, Start Studying” (w/ Franchesca Ramsey)

George is joined by Franchesca Ramsey, the actress, writer, activist and comedian extraordinaire. Franchesca's web series "Shit White Girls Say...to Black Girls" went viral in 2014, and ever since she has been balancing entertainment and activism as a true multi-hyphenate. She hosted a show for MTV, wrote a book called Well,That Escalated Quickly: Memoirs and Mistakes of an Accidental Activist, and recently hosted a podcast looking back at the triumphs and cringe-worthy blindspots of America's Next Top Model, called “We Were All Rooting for You”. This week's Queer Artist Spotlight is "Clippin" by SeanDon.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
