When we identify it, we can work on it and be better about how we engage with each other.

Brandi and Clyde move to talking about how the Poli-tricks game is played in sharing a clip from Bernie Sanders from 20 years ago in how some people work to divide us rather than bring us together. This struggle has been going on for decades and there is still a lot of work to do in the work of bringing together.

The duo wraps up the week with an update from the community. Brandi and Clyde shout out the Flynns, who are recent newlyweds, for their recent wedding. Giving Tuesday is also right around the corner, support local nonprofits like Urban Triage and the House Dance Factory this holiday season!
