Thinking Out Loud Radio Show | Politics, Popular Culture And Everything In Between

This week we share Pt.1 of our recap of our impactful and insightful Back-To-School Virtual Community Forum, where we hosted a panel of educators and administrators discussing students in the Detroit Metropolitan Area's return to in-person learning. During this LIVE event that was streamed over our Thinking Out Loud Radio & TV Show Facebook Fan Page (http://www.facebook.com/thinkinguutloudhq), educators shared the preparations and plans that are being made for our students to return to a safe, and healthy educational environment. Especially, in the midst of the rise of the COVID-19 Delta Variant, we wanted to provide parents with an opportunity to hear directly from the educators who are on the front line everyday making sure that our students are protected and safe from this dangerous and deadly virus. This was a worthwhile event, and there was definitely a tremendous amount of valuable information diseminated.

PLUS, we also shared some of the sights and sounds of the collective voices of speakers and activists who spoke at the 58th Anniversary of the March on Washington, where the focus of this year's march was for voting rights. Speakers from both generations articulated the fierce urgency of now, and the importance of putting pressure on the powers that be, that we are going to keep marching, and keep fighting until victory is won.  We hope you enjoy this week's show. Please listen, share and subscribe.
