In Honor of Nex Benedict

This episode is dedicated to Nex Benedict, and authentic young soul whose light was unjustly extinguished on February 8, 2024, after being beaten by their classmates at Owasso High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Jennifer and Courtney reveal the negative impact of Chaya Raichik's "Libs of TikTok" and her connection to the Oklahoma State Superintendent who wants to erase LGBTQ+ rights.
