This week we have a solo episode that also happens to be the season 1 finale of Melanin Well. This is my 6 month update from my big cross country move BUT man... it is so much more than that. It's the most vulnerable episode. I cry... a lot. But it is my hope that it reaches someone who is looking for more hope... more faith... more purpose in their lives right now.
