Dr. David J. Johns sits down with activist, educator, and UNDISTRACTED host Brittany Packnett Cunningham—not just as colleagues, but as family. Fresh from her address to 20,000 members of Delta Sigma Theta and her leadership of the multi-day "State of the People" telethon, Brittany breaks down how we're navigating this political moment where children are detained in facilities nicknamed "Alligator Alcatraz" and climate disasters meet federal abandonment.From the intersection of immigration and Black liberation to teaching the next generation about democracy defense, this is an urgent conversation about connection, community care, and what it takes to build the world our children deserve. Plus: rapid-fire questions including the most crucial choice between Beyoncé's "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages."
