I wanted to introduce a separate topical podcast more in line with my daily live streams. But it makes more sense to bring in the shows under the Indigo Child Umbrella.When it comes to stand up shows and my outlook on life, I have been blessed to be inspired, nurtured and encouraged by people from the black community. I stand in solidarity. I would not have had my Beyonce show if it wasn't for my Black and Asian audiences who came in their droves.It is important for me to talk about, to learn and to educate about things that hurt my audiences, friends, communities and hurt us all. This week, after the murder of George Floyd, a black unarmed man by a white American cop, my beautiful friend Mon Belle posted a video with her thoughts, you can watch it here. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CAxgSDwJNgV/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkHere is a conversation with Mon Belle.
