March 14th, 2025 - Unity and Resilience: Lessons from Pets and Black History - What can we learn from the bond between humans and dogs? Discover how the loving relationships we share with our pets can teach us about unity, cooperation, and understanding in our own communities. Join us as Rauel and Antowan lead a conversation on transcending unnecessary conflicts and tensions, focusing on the power of love and mutual support to achieve remarkable success. With Black History Month as a backdrop, we reflect on the pivotal lessons history imparts and how such insights can help us build a more harmonious future.
March 28th, 2025 - Bridge of Hate: The Evandale Incident We dive deep into the discussions surrounding a recent, largely unreported, Neo-Nazi hate event in Ohio and look at the police response, examining whether their actions equated to a failure of duty when community trust is vital. And more importantly, how these types of events and our tolerance of them, continue to allow the roots of Facisim to grow in America.
