On this episode of What We Need Now, we are welcoming back WWNN alumnae Lauren Wiggins and Jonathan Butler who join the rest of the team in discussing white supremacy culture, what brings us to the work, our creative process, and what we can share without losing our jobs.

In addition to breaking down the happenings of season 2, we will be exploring key questions that each host would like to ask other hosts. The core of this episode will be about highlighting, in the theme of tracks on a “mixtape.” Music will be a bridging component between the tracks/conversations and highlight the different creative styles we embody on the team. In this special edition of What We Need Now we have created a lyrical “bookend” to the great ideas and conversations we held throughout Season 2. Yes you read that heading correctly, the What We Need Now crew has created a mixtape of our hot takes because who doesn’t love a good mixtape?
