Meet My God

On June 17, 2015, a young, white man walked into Emanuel AME Church and murdered nine people after their Bible study. This conversation is with a family member of one of the nine people lost. We discuss the racial climate of Charleston, SC that led to the shooting. We also discuss the legacy of the Emanuel 9 and how the foundation is turning the 17th of each month into a day to celebrate their legacy.

This month, we did a devotion to find out what God is doing in this crazy time. The devotional gave us a whole lot more than we bargained for. It reminded me of how God responded after my car was repossessed. http://ruthennaporterfield.com/repossession/ 
It is a must read.

You wanted her back. Here she is! Kim Acquarelli talk about the difference in our acting journeys because of our race. We discuss how current racial tension and the death of Chadwick Boseman may affect film and television moving forward. We find a way to laugh about personal experiences in the business and end with a challenge you don't want to miss.
