Sheletta's best buddy Jim Platten just pulled his Harley out for the summer and that always makes her anxious. She's nervous about bikers being on the road and wanted to find out if there's anything she can do, as a driver, to keep her friend Jim and other riders safe. So she asked the folks from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety to join her on the podcast to motorcycle safety.

Sheletta grew up in Kelly Village, a public housing property in 5th Ward. She credits the village in Kelly Village for helping her mature into the woman she is today.
