    A Gen-Z Approved Episode

    This is the first ever recorded conversation for Institutionalized. I chat with my 19-year-old daughter, Alivia, at the dinner table. Alivia is a college student with a heart for the homeless. She talks about growing up Gen-Z, what she wished she'd been taught in school, and what older generations can do better to foster a better conversation with young people.
