    This podcast is created by me, L. My mind tends to be filled with loads of random thoughts and these random thoughts lead to very in-depth conversations in my head. So I thought I could turn those internal conversations into external conversations by recording my opinions, questions, and findings on each topic. Now and then I will be joined by my friends…so it won’t be a totally one-sided convo.

  • 21: We are committed to diversity

    There are many systemic issues that affect people of color. Getting a job is one of them.

    As a very very introverted person, I feel like a lot of institutions are made for extroverts...

  • 19: The power of indigenous medicine

    I hate the term 'alternative medicine' because a lot of the medicines and practices I use to stay alive fall into this category...
