On today's episode I welcome my long time friend Mai Spann-Wilson to get his perspective on the state of Philadelphia. We discuss the killing of Walter Wallace Jr., the people's reaction and the tone of Philly after the election. Mai is a Professor of conflict resolution at Temple University, President and CEO of Kofa Kicks, LLC, diversity facilitator and therapist specializing in working with men who have committed domestic abuse. He is also a musician/MC/producer and the artist from the song I was rocking to for Episode 1.
