In this week's episode, Tiffany is joined by Bruce Franks Jr., an accomplished individual who has been recognized as an Oscar nominee, a renowned fashion designer, a former elected official for the state house in Missouri, a passionate battle rapper, a dedicated father, an activist, and a community organizer.

Today's conversation revolves around the critical issues of gun violence, hope, the transformative power of running for office, and the significance of organizing one's community. We delve into the profound love that drives organizers to serve their people and how this love can ultimately emancipate all of us. Bruce's invaluable insights make him a true gem within our community, and it is our collective responsibility to ensure his protection.
