Discernment or to discern means to know or recognize. Throughout the Spirit of Discernment series, I will be sitting down with amazing people to discuss what it means to distinguish between what is real and what is not.

In these 4 episodes, we will be touching on all the ways various entities, whether it be the State, your friends, your teachers, the media, or spiritual practitioners, try and alter our minds, our behaviors, our souls, our realities, and our senses of self.

In this episode, I sit down with Sunny and Elias, to discuss the importance of political education, American political activism, and how we spot bad faith political actors!

For an hour, we get into what political education means to us, the many ways in which one can acquire political education, and the perils that come without sound political knowledge!

In true icon fashion, we stay entertaining as hell, while also spittin straight facts. Giving y’all the 441 on how to cultivate political discernment!

I am so excited to share this series with y’all!! I started this project back in July and now, at the most divine timing, it’s finally time for it to grace yall’s lovely ears!

Enjoy! :)
