In this episode, Dr. Andre Jerry welcomes back Dr. Stephen L. Bond, an award-winning educator and bestselling author, alongside Zane Edwards, an inspiring American poet and author.

Dr. Bond discusses his commitment to education and equality, having taught for over 22 years in subjects like World History, American History, Geology, and Biology. He has received accolades such as Minority Educator of the Year and is a board member for the Council for Social Studies in North Carolina.

Zane's work is designed to guide young men in discovering their inner strength and wisdom to navigate life's complexities.
