Educated informative Podcast
So much is happening in our world and sometimes we are not in tune to these changes and not sure of where to get involved and what to do. I really love this podcast because it gives listeners and in-depth look into issues that need our attention and even just this small step in learning about these issues is a start to making real decisions to bring about a real change.
