In solidarity with #BlackLivesMatter and in the effort to #AmplifyMelanatedVoices , BUST just released a special episode of the Poptarts podcast led by Black BUST staffers that delves into their feelings surrounding the recent activist uprising taking place around the world in the wake of the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery. BUST’s Digital Editorial Director Bry’onna Mention and Poptarts Producer Logan del Fuego shape the discussion while addressing sources for reliable news, explaining the realities of being Black in America, and debating their hopes and fears for what will come about as a result of this watershed moment.
