Marquis Rodriguez on showing up for Black women

Marquis Rodriguez joins Asante Blackk, Ethan Herisse and Reed Shannon in this segment of The Speak Up Series to talk aboutabout the loss of adolescence in young Black children, the J. Cole vs Noname feud, and how Black men can and need to show up for the Black women in their lives. All proceeds earned from YouTube ad revenue on this video will be donated to support Elijah McClain, who was senselessly killed by police in Colorado.. If you would like to donate to his fund, we’ve included a link to do so here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/elijah-mcc...

The Speak Up Series aims to raise awareness on how racism impacts youth and young adults through conversations with entertainers and activists sharing their thoughts, feelings, and experiences on racial inequality and what’s going on in America right now. Our goal is to have youth, along with every other American citizen of goodwill, watch and hopefully gain more insight, inspiration, motivation, and feel sure that their voice is heard and that progress IS being made.
