When looking for topics for upcoming shows, we at Speak Out World: Arts, Activism & More! have quite a bit to say. Our conversations usually continue long after the recordings have stopped.

In order to keep the conversation going, and to create an outlet for us to express ourselves further, we created "The Lunch Counter". This special series was named for the numerous heroes who protested for equality through sit-ins at local restaurants across the South.

For our premiere episode our discussion is about "Getting in GOOD Trouble", a statement made famous by the late Congressman John Lewis. We focus on the upcoming 2020 elections and our concerns over the voting process.

We hope you enjoy this special series and would love your feedback. Let us know what you topics you want to hear.

Featured in this discussion are Co-hosts, Jewel L and Deano L, along with our Producer Annice and myself, the Creative/Technical Producer, Sha. To learn more about Speak Out World, and our joint projects visit: www.speakoutworld.com or www.sowpodcast.com.
