Welcome to "The Sit Down," a podcast presented by the Chicago Reader. I'm your host, Shawnee Dez, a Chicago-born musician and I'm excited to give you an exclusive behind-the-scenes P.O.V. from some of Chicago's most beloved creatives and community members.
On each episode of "The Sit Down," we'll be joined by a variety of guests, delving into discussions that span the spectrum of visual arts, music, food, film, and beyond. Chicago, to me, is a city pulsating with beauty, creativity, and unyielding tenacity, and our stories deserve to be told.
Chat soon, peace!
TW: On this episode of The Sit Down, I speak with Trina T and Sarah Conway about the two-year investigation they conducted to get a closer look into the ways that CPD handles missing persons cases and the disproportionate impact on Black women and girls in Chicago.
This episode comes on the leap day 02.29.24, a day I consider to be the intersection between Black History Month and Women's History Month and for that what better time to talk about an issue that is plaguing Black women at alarming rates.
For the contents of this episode, I'd like to offer a TRIGGER WARNING as some of what you may hear can be difficult. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, or may be missing please reach out to a trusted community member and professionals to seek the help you/they deserve.
