"If we truly love each other, we will do something about these disparities."

On this first episode, James shares his thoughts on community, and about the hard conversations we need to have in our country. But he also reminds us that we need to have these conversations with love in mind - the kind of deep human caring that can create opportunities to meaningful, uplifting, elevating, productive discussions about important issues facing us right now.
