    Political Actors & Operators in Idaho with Tammy Nichols

    Tammy Nichols is an Idaho State Senator who came on to talk about some of the political issues around elections that Idaho has faced for years. Political operatives from out of state get flown into Idaho to advocate for or against Idaho candidates. These people are housed, paid, and instructed to engage very specific dialogue. This is a problem across the state and we should all be aware of it, regardless of political affiliation. Enjoy!

    Finding Your Place In Idaho with Emily Wakild

    Dr. Emily Wakild is a professor and historian and came in to talk about how people find their places in Idaho. As people move to this state, there is an ever evolving problem with building housing and changing the landscape. Boise specifically recently voted to tax itself to preserve more of the surrounding hills and open space because people felt it just wouldn’t be the same without it. Dr. Wakild came on to talk about the need for our surrounding areas to reflect what we associate with home and what feels right. Enjoy!

    Ghana Make A Difference with Austin Johnson

    Austin Johnson lives in the Treasure Valley and is the director of Ghana Make a Difference, an organization that runs an orphanage in Ghana on the banks of lake Volta. The area is a hot bed for human trafficking and slavery as parents routinely unknowingly sell their own children into slavery. As these children are liberated, they need not only food and shelter but also education and a glimmer of hope that they’ll learn to survive in the real world and perhaps one day be reunited with their families. Austin’s story and mission are both heart breaking and awe inspiring. Enjoy!
