In a recent 8 Black Hands episode, the fellas start off by dedicating the episode to a friend of Dr. Charles Cole, Rachel Willis-Henry who recently passed away, described as a warrior in the education liberation movement.

The episode starts off by touching on the toll of being Black in America and the importance of self-care for those in the fight for educational justice and moves to the prevalence of college-educated white folks who are quick to pop up on social media to lecture Black people about their own children and educational autonomy.
