Naming It

Ep 54 - Social Justice and Hospitality with Ashtin Berry

Bedford and LaMisha unveil a new format for Naming It. This episode features a #RealTalk interview with Hospitality Activist Ashtin Berry. It begins with a "What's Going On" segment where the hosts discuss some of the negative responses to Senator Kamala Harris after she announced her candidacy for US President. Then Bedford and LaMisha focus in on Bedford’s discussion with Ashtin. They explore systemic racism and sexism in the hospitality industry, and how workers and consumers can do their part to bring change to this important industry. We close with a message from Ashtin to women of color, focused on mental health and empowerment.

Naming It features Bay Area Psychologists, Dr. Bedford Palmer &amp; Dr. LaMisha Hill, who explore the intersections of Social Justice, Psychology, &amp; Blackness. They introduce aspects of counseling psychology that are not commonly thought of, and engage listeners in a conversation about pop-culture and current events in a way that delves deeper, and focuses on how it all impacts on our lives. The Mission of Naming It is to call out the elephant in the room, and to call in the voices of social justice that are normally muted.
