The podcast that reminds us that we are human first before anything else. On this show we have the conversations you’re having about race, religion, and culture. We share stories and experiences that bring to light the humanity behind the ideologies, politics, and beliefs that we have about the world. Let’s talk about justice, faith, and culture together!
We had our guy Ro back on the show to talk about deconstructing and how he says his life got better after he leaned into what he truly believed despite what it would cost and who wouldn't be able to accept it.
