In light of the tragic murder of George Floyd we wanted to have an open discussion on the podcast about what we can do to help and how we can heal ourselves and help others heal around us. To help us do that we had Christopher Scott, M.S.W., C.S.W.A. (aka Hip Hop Social Worker) on the show. Chris shared about his work in Portland as a social worker, working with youth and how he is growing his brand as Hip Hop Social worker to make content for everyone to consume for free (including the Hip Hop Social Worker Podcast).

As hard as it is, we had the conversation to try and see what we can do and how we can heal. On what we can do; voting for legislation against police brutality, checking in and supporting our black friends, showing up and listening to what we can do.

On healing from this tragedy, Chris mentioned allowing yourself to take time off, talk to your boss and lean on your support network. Being creative not just in making music but drawing, journaling, writing and even coloring! Taking time to learn new skills and being able to give your self time to focus on other things. Most importantly, set aside time to log off of social media, meditate, center yourself and recharge so you can come back to help with a clear mind.
