  • Alex Has A Conversation About Race (with Dr. Jessica Barron and Brit Barron)
    Alex Gervasi brings in her friends Brit Barron (pastor, speaker and author) and Dr. Jessica Barron (sociologist, demographer and author) to have a really honest conversation about race and racism - specifically in America. While they couldn't touch on everything, Alex, Brit and Dr. Barron tried their best to provide insight and break down the heavier topic. We hope what these two accomplished sisters (yes, sisters!!) share sheds light and helps educate those who might not have had a conversation surrounding race like this before.
