Protests that originated in Minneapolis after a white police officer killed George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, quickly spread around the country. The reality of social inequality create anger and despair that is now playing out on the streets of cities throughout the country. How did we get here and what is the way forward? What are specific health impacts on individual, family and communities from both physical and mental perspectives? What are effective pathways to breakthroughs in enforcement and judicial policies and civic engagement? How do we begin to transform our social contract to include those who have been dehumanized, commoditized and under represented?


Today's panelists are Pastor Melvin Russell, Adar Ayira, Major Neill Franklin, Justin Hodge, DeBorah Ahmed, Dr. Charles Lewis, and the host is Linda Howard.

How has the COVID-19 pandemic surfaced, and in some instances influenced medical decisions which require physicians and nurses to grapple with the principles of health care [medical/bio] ethics? In a post COVID-19 pandemic world are traditional standards for making medical choices, which in some cases weigh life and death in the balance, sufficient for rendering the best possible benefits for both patient and society? How is our understanding of the relevant nuanced principles advanced through a prism of Islamic bioethical concerns?

Today's host is Linda Howard and the Panelists are Dr. Abdulaziz Sachedina and Dr. Joseph Carrese.

US businesses will reopen in a new reality. Social distancing regulations may make it difficult for some establishments to realize profit margins sufficient to support growth and long-term viability. We are likely to see a continued increase in online transactions. Some macro strategist suggests that cryptocurrencies will replace the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency. With Profound Conversationalists Jameel Aalim-Johnson and Yaya J. Fanusie, we explore MLPI’s new visions for equity and inclusion in the development of capital markets, investments, and wealth-building in a post COVID-19 pandemic world.

COVID 19 could bring a profound or notable transformation in how Americans spend, save, and invest their money; how busi- nesses function; and how people engage. The impact of COVID 19 could reverberate for decades. Some predict that it will be like the Great Recession of 2008. Others draw comparisons to the Great Depression of the 1930s. Are either one of these accurate comparisons? We know for sure that we are in an economic, social, and political crisis. We will explore with our conversation- alist: The way forward for Main Street, the social-political economic nuances necessary to carve out effective pathways to re- covery, and whether there are conceptual roadmaps that hold the key to re-imagining a thriving US workforce and economy.

Today's host is Linda Howard and the Panelists are Mike Bonifer, Donna Pahel, and Rasul Sha'ir.

How do we create a post pandemic world that is more inclusive of vulnerable populations? We speak to two distinguished physicians who see health inequities every day and who are commitment to improving the health and wellness of vulnerable populations. We ask the questions (1) is population health management the way forward to building healthy, sustainable communities? Do we have a plan to reduce or eliminate the glaring inequities showcased in our national healthcare systems during COVID-19? How do we reimagine wellness at the personal, family and community levels?

Last week we explored the impact of COVID 19 on inner city communities in and around Baltimore, Maryland. Some populations around the globe are being hit harder than others; globally our response to this pandemic has been less than adequate. We were especially unprepared to mitigate the impact the pandemic, that have devastated much of the world, had on the economically, socially and medically vulnerable. Slowing the spread depends, in large part, on how we respond to these populations. The Global Health Security Index: Building Collective Action and Accountability report, dated October 2019, articulates essential recom- mendations for global governments to consider as a means for the prevention, detection and rapid response to enormous public health threats. Are these recommendations the answer? Will they assist us with post pandemic preparedness to respond to our most vulnerable populations?

Inner-city populations remain at high risk for poor health outcomes, and premature death due to preventable diseases and environmental factors associated with known socioeconomic and primary health care inequities. In many of these communities COVID-19 spreads at faster rates than other communities. We will take a look at inner city communities in and around Baltimore and ask the questions: Where are we in the midst of COVID 19 and what is the outlook for tomorrow? How do we positively impact health outcomes at the individual, family and community level looking at population health management, standards of care, and selfcare. Profound Conversations is a moderated discussion with a question and answer segment for listeners to contribute thoughts and seek guidance.
