Sometimes we need a little optimism. We have seen so much grief, sickness, murder porn, injustice, and brutality that we’ve become numb. We don’t want you to lose hope. We have a long journey ahead of us and we can’t afford to be weary and weak. Like the song said, “as long as we keep our head to the sky”.
Today we are going to take a mental break and catch up on all the #insecure tea (1:38:00) that we have been waiting to discuss from the last 2 episodes. We will dive into our weekly balance of ratchet & righteousness and we will also give tips on ways to be optimistic (0:42:28)and what we can do in the here & now.
