The #FantiFam is off this week but we have one of our absolute favorite episodes from the vault for you! This week, we chat with journalist and friend of the show Shar Jossell about the term All Black Lives Matter—an expression of inclusion meant to amplify the voices of Black Trans people and others who face violence in the community. It’s been met with some push-back, specifically by those who say it reminds them a little too much of the All Lives Matter movement as a silencing tactic in opposition to #BlackLivesMatter.

Sometimes the people, places, and things we love don't love us back. We're fans, but we also have some ANTI- feelings toward them. Every week on FANTI, journalists Tre'vell Anderson and Jarrett Hill bring their pop culture and political expertise to things we must stan and stand up against. FANTI is a place where nuance reigns supreme with energetic, complicated, and sometimes difficult conversations that bring deep knowledge and thoughtful perspective to the things we love and rage about, from the White House to the Real House(wives).
