No year is bereft of difficulty but 2021 seems like one for the record books. From the ongoing situation with our COVID Hellscpae to uprisings and natural disasters across the globe, there is a lot to deal with. In today's episode, we talk about Cuba and Afghanistan, to situations that are still unfolding and could be at the beginning of major historical events. We talk about what is happening and what it means for people our age and our generation.
