TKAM #762 Gentrified Empanadas

Summary: 11.15.2017 Being angry and frustrated is healthy. Holding on to it isn’t. Vent to us and with us, feel better, tune in and remember that the week is almost over. It’s #AirOutWednesday TK is back from the windy city and she has a lot to air out. Chicago might not have good places to eat, their pizza might be just a casserole, but maybe their gentrified empanadas are good. With all of these stories, come projects popping up in many platforms. In #NewsYouCanUse Meet the Anglo transracial man who claims to be Filipino. Yes, really. Roy Moore, Louis CK, John Travolta, and George Takei all under fire after their sexual misconduct was revealed. Best-selling author John Grisham defends child pornography. During #ChatroomCheckin, we listen to all of your air outs. Some of them include getting replaced at work, being left out after a family member passes away, and a professor who unapologetically used the N-word multiple times. Seriously, if you’re from ANY other ethnic group, it’s not your word- but we let Ta-nehisi Coastes say it again. There’s not enough time to talk about all the things that make our blood boil, but we try. We are trying to let the world vent, one Wednesday at a time. #AirOutWednesday Love TK &Cons?
