    Aaron Chess

    This week I talk to Mr Aaron Chess about his wild journey trying to get into politics so far. Why would young black kid from the south side get into politics? Do we as minorities hold our minority candidates to a higher standard? Why did you put on "the hat"??????? We talk about all of these and more. Proud of what he's trying to do to make the 309 a better place and only 23!! Keep grinding young man

    Lorenzo Watson - All In Charity Chase

    Joined by a young man that I have admired from afar. He has and is doing some things at 21 that I wouldn't have even thought of when I was his age. We talk about his support system, the AVID program, his love for numbers and his motivations in starting his own charity. An inspiring young man, his story and his journey are absolutely awesome and we need to appreciate kids like him so much more than we do. Check him out!

    Lori and Bianca talk about the importance of mental health with our youth

    It's harder to be a kid now than it has ever been. Two school counselors, Lori LaFond and Bianca Brown come on and talk to me about the importance of mental health in our youth. It's never been more important, especially going back to remote learning during a pandemic and with the holidays coming up. These two ladies were awesome in talking about their backgrounds and how they affect their views on the job, how it's harder to navigate being a kids than ever (especially with social media) and about being aware of changes in the behavior of our kids.  I can't express how awesome they were and how important this topic is!!
