Are We Done Yet (AWDY) is a video/audio podcast that aims to address the most divisive - and sometimes the most ridiculous - topics of the day in a neutral, bipartisan manner - with the sole intent being the creation of a better understanding of the topics origins, the fellow humans behind them and their differing views - so we may better communicate and decrease hostility and polarization.
We aim to educate, not intimidate - and we do not require or suggest that anyone agree or change their minds. AWDY only seeks to provide all participants with a greater understanding of the human thought process that drives our passion for these topics, and explore deeper and more significant underlying social constructs.

Enter the word ‘Pride” into Google as a text search and you’re shown the official definition of pride, followed by a doom scroll of largely LGBTQ focused link options. Enter the word “Black” in front of pride and you’re shown a selection of links focusing on an extension of LGBTQ pride content specific to the black community, and additional resources related to race, specifically that of the black population. Enter the word “white” in front of the word pride, and the story that our search return tells us that is one of supremacy, hatred, racism, anti semitism and a depiction of white pride as being a largely negative and destructive blight on our society.
