Cocaine and Mean Girls

Feb 17, 2020

Cocaine and Mean Girls...How better to start the week? Julie and Torin look at the intersection of tech and racism through the lens of the criminalizing of crack cocaine vs the powdered choice of the wealthy, white, male tech leaders in Silicon Valley. Then Julie shares her personal views on mean girls, queen bee syndrome, and all things women do to fail each other. PREPARE YOURSELF FOR CRAZY AND THE KING!
