A World of Difference

Bella Adams-Brown shares her thoughts and reactions to the 100 year history of women’s right to vote in the US. She gives a Generation Z, 12-year-old perspective on the complicated struggle for votes for women leading up to Aug 18, 1920. Freida Adams shares a Baby Boomer perspective on what it meant to her to see her mom and other women and men in her family vote when she was a child. We discuss the generations and how setting an example leaves a legacy of how important it is that all voices be heard. We discuss the racism that darkened the purity of the movement, and how black women would have to wait many more years to be given access to the polls. We also talk about how voter surpression still exists today, and how we should welcome all voices to speak into our society’s choices for leadership. We commemorate the 19th Ammendment’s 100 year history, and let it spur us on to include more votes into government because some things are just too big to do alone. Stay In Touch:

Dr. Ron Adams speaks about his life from growing up on a farm to an international job of helping others that took him to live in 3 countries and travel to 30. He talks about a basketball coach who called out the greatness in him as he was growing up, and how he himself later in life called out the greatness in incarcerated inmates serving multiple life sentences where he served as chaplain. He shares about the culture shock of each new country he moved to, and how living internationally taught him that family is more than blood relatives. He shows us how to be brave when moments call for us to help those in hard times whether it means the dangers of disaster relief or following the teachings of Jesus that teach us to care for the prisoners. He talks of his radical life change as a young boy, and his his life has never been the same. Stay In Touch:

Dr. Christopher Adams talks about growing up bicultural and how this drew him to learn about the immigrant experience. This ultimately led him to pursue a degree in which he could learn to both understand and help those having a challenging time in the US education system, especially on the US border with Mexico. Dr. Adams talks about teaching students with trauma, mental health struggles, and how his music he plays for the homeless community gives him connection. Listen and be inspired, challenged and equipped by Dr. Adams as he shares and leads with vulnerability. He spends so much time listening to those he encounters. Here’s our chance to listen to what he has learned, and how we too can make a world of difference as teachers, social justice workers, and human beings. Look for his music with his band C.M. & the Revelators on Spotify. https://open.spotify.com/artist/4nPlCn1ih5Hv7RlW6PQtBl?si=p76q2yFqSOWuNzatkX0c-g. Stay In Touch:
