I-Lead, Ilhan Omar, and Why Don't We Stay in Reading (feat. Pagoda City)

On this episode of DearRDG, we get to the nitty gritty of some local news! We talk about the sex trafficking scandal in our community and I-Lead charter school. We also discuss Ilhan Omar and Barnard College's racist attack on a Black, Columbia student. On the Stoop, we discuss why young people don't want to stay in the city of Reading. This question is consistently being asked of us, so we decided to talk about it.

#ReadingsFinest features Jay! Listen to hear about how he got his love of music, starting Pagoda City, and him not managing his mental health too well, but he's working through it.
