Many would say that #GeorgeFlloyd death was the catalyst used for change. Talking about #Race, although hard, is necessary. No one is born racist or antiracist; these result from the choices we make along our respective journeys. Recently, Roxanne and Karmisha sat down with a special guest, Marlon. A. Primes. The conversation was moderated by Karmisha where he provided a great insight into the migration of blacks from the South, and a review of race relations in America through the pages of Pulitizer Prize Author, Isabel Wilkerson, "The Warmth of Other Suns: An Epic Story of #America Great Migration."  This powerful conversation about the black experience, economy, and tracing one's ancestral linage is paramount, especially today. We hope this episode provides a better concept of blacks in America and empowers listeners to take actionable steps forward. We hope it inspires great conversations and was pre-recorded on Sunday, March 28, 2021.
