Civil Conversations with Matt Aghedo

I sat down with Council Members Diamond Staten-Williams and Troy Selberg for the town of Harrisburg, NC. We discussed how they work together, with one being democrat and the other republican, while in such a divided time. 

We also discussed their perspective on things in the US today and the deep division we see in society. 

We continue this conversation...

The "Black Lives Matter" movement has been polarizing for the last few years. The organization has been on the rise, the hashtags at one point dominated social media.

But with all of that, there has also been negative backlash about "BLM" and how its either perceived to be a marxist organization or not expansive enough for the improvements within the black community.

I've invite Jasmine Hines, Rob Doggett and Lisa Robinson, to join me and have a conversation about this subject and where we are today.

In a time where labels are the norm. "Karen" stands out pretty high in the crowd. Its used when wanting to label angry, "lying" or just complaining white women. 

I sat down with my friend Karen Foster to talk about this subject and how it's impacted her. 

I invited my son Micah to speak with me about his perspective as a teenager in today's time and focus on race/politics. It was pretty insightful and hope you all can enjoy this convo. I know I did.

We continue with Pastors, Randall Reece, Rayshawn Graves and Rose Lee Norman

This conversation was long overdo. I sat with Pastors, Rose Lee Norman, Rayshawn Graves and Randall Reece. 

Christians have had an impact on politics and race and also have been impacted by politics and race, for years. And in the US it is heavily obvious but is it actually confronted the way it should be? We talk about it, in a real and raw way. 

We continue in this amazing conversation with these black women. 

I sat down with Amber Creft, Ebonie Sparks, Crissi York and Lisa Brown. They shared with each other and now with you all, their perspective on being a black woman in today's time. Hows it.s been for them and how they've coped with the very sensitive areas of beauty, image and colorism. 

This is definitely a conversation you do NOT want to miss.

Resisting arrest can sometimes be misunderstood and argued in times like today. I invited Sgt. Clyde Boatwright, VP of the Fraternal order of Police for the state of Maryland back to discuss this with me his perspective on this.
