In this episode of Burn It All Down Brenda Elsey, Amira Rose Davis and Jessica Luther start the show with their favorite Met Gala looks. Then, prompted by the documentary LulaRich, they take a deep dive into the world of athleisure. They discuss the evolution of the athletic wear fashion, how multilevel marketing often (MLM) targets working class women with false promises, the politics of who gets to wear athleisure and how these apparel companies still have a long way to go in providing safe and fair working conditions. Following this discussion, there's a preview of Amira's interview with Dave Zirin about his new book “The Kaepernick Effect." Then, they burn the garbage in sports this week on the Burn Pile. Next, they celebrate those changing sports for the better, including Torchbearers of the Week, Simone Biles, Aly Raisman, McKayla Maroney and Maggie Nichols, for sharing their stories and testifying against Larry Nassar before the Senate. Then the wrap up the show with what's good in their lives and what they are watching in sports this week. This episode was produced by Tressa Versteeg.
