This episode of black in wild the podcast is the follow up episode to the previous one where I shared about my experience of my work being affected by the executive orders. This episode will focus on two individuals who have also been affected by the executive orders and are from underrepresented communities. One would like to keep their identity anonymous for safety reasons and the other I will allow to introduce themselves. The first story you will hear today was submitted in the form of an email that I will read for you. And the second was submitted in audio form from the individual. My goal is to highlight how people from underrepresented backgrounds have been impacted by the executive orders as well as how these orders are destroying people's dreams.

Note: the opinions and perspectives shared in this episode and on this show are not reflective of any organization or agency.
