Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably at the very least heard the name George Zimmerman.
If you haven't look it up, in 2013 he was acquitted of the murder of Trayvon Martin a young 17 year old black teenager.

At the furnace we turned our attention to what the real problem here could be, we look at what it means to be black, what society projects/expects of us, the struggles we faced and potentially what the solution could be, though that will be the topic of part 2.
We were lucky to have the lovely Jemilea Wisdom-Baako in attendance and our special "political correspondent" Vincent Nimoh (@Ananenimoh on twitter) bringing some much needed alternative insights to the conversation.
and the conversation is not done yet.
We hope you enjoy the episode and if you do please let us know in the comments and let your friends know by sharing, and if you don't, please let us know in the comments and let your friends know by sharing.
We're big believers in the "win-win"
Take care and stay blessed.
