    On Who You Was a Girl Scout?

    In this episode, we meet up with our friends and fellow volunteers, India Moore-Harper and Seretha Etheridge, to discuss a project they started together - their own, local Girl Scout troop.  They were able to give some real insight into the challenges and the planning that goes into an endeavor like this.  We hope this conversation gives listeners a better understanding of the effort it takes to get a project up and running, and also the rewards it can bring! If you are interested in finding out more information about Troop 71233, you can contact India on Instagram at @india_ashley or Seretha at @xaydens_mom.  You can also go to www.gsneo.org for information about this troop and the Girl Scout experience in Northeast Ohio.

    Mask Off?¿

    In this episode, with Ohio Governor DeWine lifting mask restrictions June 2nd, we grapple with the questions - “Will you still wear your mask?” “How will this affect volunteer organizations, businesses, etc.?” “Is it too soon?” Maybe time will tell.  In the meantime, tune in with your mask on…or your mask off.

    It's the Support For Me

    In this episode, we discuss how our support systems have evolved during the pandemic. Who do you consider to be a part of your support system? If you’re like us, depending on the day, the who and what’s considered support easily changes. We assist differently and we volunteer differently, but it’s always the support for us. Here are some of the organizations and projects we mentioned in this episode: Webbo’s All Stars - www.webbosallstars.org Instagram handle: @webbosall_stars Donté’s Gift express - www.dontesgiftexpress.com Instagram handle: @dontesgiftexpress Manna Food from Heaven - Facebook: Manna Food from Heaven Email us your thoughts, questions, and suggestions at ourbraintrustpodcast@gmail.com.  And follow us on Instagram @ourbraintrustpodcast for updates on when new episodes are coming out and where to find them.  Don’t forget to subscribe to our channel and please leave us a glowing review!

    New Season, Who Dis?

    We’re back with Season 2 of Our Brain Trust Podcast! Listen in as we reflect on 2020 and how we dealt with life and each other (there are two Geminis in this group). Two things to remember from Season 1: We’re still volunteering...albeit with some twists, and we still don’t know when Laura and Brian met.
