In this episode of The Strategic Whimsy Experiment, Jen and Sarah are joined by LeTesha to review The Hate U Give. They discuss the ambitious nature of the film to cover a number of important topics such as code-switching, cultural narratives, structural injustice, the need for a strong support system, and more. Weaving in their personal experiences, they share how stories such as this one can be powerful in changing ingrained perspectives and long-held beliefs.
