Welcome to the table!  On this episode Michaela invites Vernon Gordon ( IG @vernongordon) to the table to discuss the topic of racism in America and to get a perspective on what it's like being black in America in 2020.  While some may perceive this conversation topic to be a touchy one, here at A Table For Two, we believe it's a crucial one.  Often the most vital pieces to creating to lasting change lives in the "uncomfortable" and Michaela wants to go there because relationships and healthy community is worth it.  God calls us to be UNITED, and that doesn't mean united with just the people that look like us.  Today's virtual location is at Vernon's favorite spot, Momma J's in Richmond Virginia!
