It was a historic day and E & L were there for it! You can feel the electric energy in New York City and the studio as we talk about the election! Erin & Lawrence, well Erin anyway, takes a minute to feel the good vibes and celebrate a new beginning. The duo doesn’t agree on celebrating, but they can agree that this is just the beginning…The real works starts now and they are both committed to it! They move on to talk about political parties, Black men supporting Trump, abortion, how money rules the world, women in politics and so much more. Lawrence asks the question...Is it really a democracy if women were never involved in the political process from the beginning? We discuss the path women have taken to get into that "room" without an invitation and how it is changing the path for future generations of women. Lawrence shares his ideal definition and role of a politician. And it wouldn’t be Beyond The Journal without touching on the soul, systems, fear, love, connection, and control. E & L even take a few minutes to shoutout some of our friends in the NYC basketball community like Justin Bright of Humble Development, GuardFam, Riverside and Split Edit. We also share some upcoming plans for The Ballers Journal. Wow! This episode is a LOT. Check it out!
