The podcast made to connect interesting people in an intentional way. Often when obstacles are in our way, individually or corporately, we can forget the humanity of us all. We forget that we’re all human beings. On my show, I want to chat with interesting people, who are human just like you and me. What obstacles have they overcome? What interesting things are they doing? — Let’s get back to connecting intentionally.

This is the second part of a chat with Alvin and Keivon about growing up black in America, and their perspective on the racial justice issues America is facing. I highly recommend listening to this episode, if you don't understand why people say "Black lives matter," why "All lives matter" can actually hurt black people, or that systemic racism exists.

We're missing relationship. Relationships are what create change, not statistics alone. We must listen to others, and show compassion more.
Listen in, as Alvin and Keivon share their story.
