Following a recent meeting where student walkouts were discouraged, the hosts reflect on why speaking out—especially for students who don’t yet have the power to vote—can still be powerful and necessary. They explore the difference between disruption and advocacy, and what it means to make your voice heard responsibly.</p><p>The episode also weaves in spoken poetry inspired by their Black History Month figures, moments of laughter over everyday school life (yes, including cafeteria BBQ pizza), and ends with a confident reminder that this platform exists to amplify <em>their</em> voices. Honest, thoughtful, and unapologetically student-led—this episode reminds listeners that youth expression matters.</p>]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 23 Feb 2026 20:51:48 GMT</pubDate><itunes:duration>00:13:52</itunes:duration><enclosure url="https://feeds.alitu.com/41613495/ddd111be-3130-4668-aea1-f80df625ed03.mp3?t=1771879909000" length="13310429" type="audio/mpeg"></enclosure><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><podcast:season>1</podcast:season><itunes:episode>5</itunes:episode><podcast:episode>5</podcast:episode><itunes:author>A.
