From the podcast

James T. Green is a coder, designer, podcaster, and all around creative type whose generalized anxiety has driven his work habits for his entire career. He has recently had to explore how his anxiety effects the way he can ennact social justice. As someone who doesn't feel comfortable or useful in a march, rally, or protest setting, he has learned to use his skills as a creative to raise money and awareness for the Black Lives Matter movement and amplify the voices of other marginalized groups. James spoke of his experience as a young black man in modern America, his relationship with social media, and some habits he uses to manage his anxiety on a daily basis.
