When I became an elected official last year, winning a seat on Harper Woods City Council, I knew I wanted to make an impact by having deeper political conversations. I started "Quick to Politic" as a podcast idea. The Coronavirus Pandemic has created a renewed need to have conversations around what the future holds in terms of policy and the economy. It made me want to deep dive, reach across the isles, and bridge differing perspectives to have a discourse around how to be better humans. The social justice movements that have been happening in our communities and indeed around the country have writ large the need to have tough conversations that move the needle forward in the name of true systemic change.
Today our guest is someone who I may have had disagreements with but we sat down for a conversation to see how we can get on the same page on issues related to pushing the needle on social justice.
