Is it just a difference of opinion?
I think we can all agree that over the past few months there has been a divide on various topics; whether it's politics, COVID-19, or racial injustice. But are these just difference of opinions or is there a definitive right and wrong? I am joined by my long time friend Alexis and she helps me process and discuss, is this a difference of opinion or just something more?

Upcoming Episodes

We Cannot Be Silent
There has never been a good time to remain silent when injustice is happening all around. However, now more than ever its a time to speak and be heard. Whether its a voice to process the trauma, pain, and anger of the situation or to speak up in protest it's time to be heard. This episode I talk with my friend and colleague Raevynn as we discuss George Floyd, injustice, and where do we go from here.
