This episode I sit down with my friend Yveka "Yve" Pierre She's a Romantic Poet, Activist, Feminist & an NYC Criminal Defense Lawyer! Illustrious B also stops by to lend some commentary. We discuss Yve's early beginnings, moving from Haiti at a young age, growing up in Florida and how those experiences ultimately shaped her as well as what led her down the path towards Law, Justice & Activism. Also touching on the 9th Circuit Court of appeals decision and the executive order on immigration that continues to affect the lives of many people. On a lighter tip, we play a few rounds of "Black Ass History" courtesy of Black Card Revoked in honor of Black History Month! and round things off talmbout love, relationships and how wack Tinder is. (*Full Disclosure* This is a long episode, but it's worth it! We laughed all the way through. Yve also said if you live in Brooklyn, hit her up! She'll buy you a round for listening.)
