We are talking Florida politics with a Duval County political icon. Senator #Audrey Gibson represents #Florida Senate District 6 in parts of #Duval County. She has served in the Florida Senate since 2011, and has been subsequently reelected for a second term without opposition. Gibson is one of the leading voices in local and state politics. And as a democrat, Gibson is one of the most important policy figures for the 2019 Legislative session, as she will be serving as Senate Minority Leader. Coming up - a conversation with Florida Senate Minority Leader Audrey Gibson…on #Real Talk.

On this episode of #RealTalk, we talk with Charles Landon Griggs. Yes, my son who also happens to be the podcast’s producer. We both thought a conversation with each other would be the perfect way to discuss the “Millennial divide.” Why is it that Baby-boomers get so annoyed with Millennials? And why do Millennials go through life less focused on responsibility? Check out our #RealTalk.

This weekend marks one year since protests and violence erupted in Charlottesville, Virginia. On this special podcast edition of #realtalk, I speak with Charlottesville City Councilman Dr. Wes Bellamy. He shares his story about Charlottesville, then and now, and how last year’s events impact us all. I consider Dr. Bellamy a colleague and friend, with common interests in equity strategies and policies to make change happen. Take a listen. I hope that you enjoy the conversation.

For as long as we’ve known, there have been two major political parties that candidates and voters can be affiliated with: democrats and republicans. More and more African Americans are becoming critical of the current two-¬party system and believe it has wreaked havoc on the black community.

Are we really preparing our students for tomorrow? Judging by recent state policy changes, we are clearly swept up in a school choice movement.

Let’s talk.

#realtalk, the Podcast, brings voice to topics specifically related to the African American community. #realtalk seeks a deeper discussion on important matters and explore solutions.

We invite you to listen in.
