Across the U.S., the No Kings movement has sparked one of the largest grassroots protests in our history, reminding us that democracy belongs to the people, not to any one leader. In this episode, I’m speaking straight from the heart about something that matters deeply to me- activism in action and the power of showing up.
I share why I refuse to stay silent as our values of freedom, fairness, and inclusion are challenged and why showing up, speaking up, and staying informed are more critical than ever. This isn’t about politics; it’s about protecting what America was meant to stand for.
I’ll also walk you through practical ways to get involved. from engaging in local action to having the uncomfortable but necessary conversations that move us forward. Because democracy doesn’t disappear overnight… it erodes when good people stop paying attention.
So, I invite you to listen in, reflect deeply, and ask yourself: What role will you play in shaping our future? Tune in now!
