In this raw and unscripted episode, I’m sharing my thoughts and emotions in the wake of last week’s election results. This isn't just about politics; it’s about my deep fears for my students, friends, and all those in marginalized communities who are now facing an uncertain future. I share the emotions I had and what I'm doing about them now... Thanks for listening and allowing me to support you...
