Two Mamas and a Mustard Seed

We continue our conversation with Kentucky State Representative Attica Scott. We talk about her legislative docket for this session. We also play a little game with her. We gave her 7 topics, which we will discuss this season and we asked her to give a 2-minute overview of that topic as it relates to race in America.

Happy Friday, ya'll! We've made it to the weekend! We wanted to share some thoughts on unity, hope, and Jesus as we wrap up our week. We hope you'll watch and join us in the challenge of loving all people — even those who disagree with you! And whew! That can be a challenge!

Kentucky State Representative Attica Scott kicks off our season two series called "Listen To." Rep. Scott talks with Kisa and Renee about racial injustice and racial inequality. She talks about Breonna's Law, her 2021 legislative docket, her dependence on her faith, and so much more. We will also honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., by reading an excerpt from "Letter from a Birmingham Jail".

In part 2 of Giving Gifts to Your Community, our guest Marita Willis talks about her work at Hope Collaborative, a non-profit organization serving refugees and immigrants in Louisville, Kentucky. Ms. Marita also talks about the GREATEST gift we can give our communities this Christmas season and in 2021.

On this 2-part episode called Giving Gifts to Your Community co-hosts Kisa Hoeltke and Renee Reithel welcome Marita Willis to the podcast. Kisa and Renee agree she is the perfect guest for a Christmas episode. Marita is a former vice president at PNC in Louisville, Kentucky, a former philanthropy officer for the Red Cross, and the current CEO of Hope Collaborative, a non-profit organization serving refugees and immigrants in Louisville. She and her husband of 44 years have seen more than any one couple should see. But through it all her faith in God and her love for people have remained intact. This 2-part episode will challenge all of us to love our communities a little bit better during this Christmas season and into the new year.

It's Thanksgiving and our hosts Kisa and Renee are thankful for so much. After God, these ladies are most thankful for their husbands. What a great time to invite them to be guests on the podcast. Kisa and Renee will talk about Thanksgiving, of course. But you'll get to hear how Kisa and Renee met their husbands from the perspective of the guys. We'll also talk about what it's like being white men raising black children. You won't want to miss this two-part episode. This is part 2.

2020 has been one crazy year, no doubt about it. Hosts Kisa Hoeltke and Renee Reithel wanted to pause during this episode to celebrate and recognize a few Black trailblazers. As we have reached the month of Thanksgiving, these are people we should all be thankful for, whether we are Black or White because they have contributed greatly to our nation. Kisa and Renee are excited to share a poet, a nurse, a patent draftsman, an inventor and a space scientist with you.

Your hosts Kisa Hoeltke and Renee Reithel started this series called Candid Convos to share everything they wish they would have said during that week's episode. In this session of Candid Convos Kisa and Renee talk about Episode 7, The Divide. They talk about political divides and racial divides and, on the flip, what brings us together.

We are days away from the 2020 Election and we’re feeling it. Kisa and Renee are raw, heart-felt and unedited in this conversation. The Divide seems massive once again in our nation. Kisa and Renee don’t share a lot of stats or facts on this episode, just their genuine feelings about the political climate, the racial divide and much more. Kisa and Renee challenge all of us to love our neighbor before ourselves at the end of this episode.
