Episode 165, was indeed refreshing, informative and inspiring thanks to the energy and passion of Dr. Kendra Holmes, CEO and President of Affinia Healthcare. -----

Tangazo cohost and I were not quite prepared, for the passionate responses to our questions involving healthcare for underserved communities, that we encountered with Dr. Holmes. ------
 
You too will be moved by her boldness and determination, to identity racism in our healthcare systems which Holmes, attributes to many of the healthcare issues, that continue to plague our black communities. ------
 
In hour 2, I was joined by former Tallahassee Florida Mayor Dorothy Inman-Johnson, an author and political progressive, who tells it like it is on matters of national politics. -----

Alicia D Crudup, activist and community organizer in Minneapolis talks about the challenges facing her Congresswoman progressive IIhan Omar, in her bid for reelection. -----
 
Surprisingly this young black woman a progressive activist, believes that it’s healthy for any incumbent to be challenged, as it benefits constituents to have more accountability from their elected officials. -----
 
I wholeheartedly agree with her position on that issue, with a reminder that elected officials, are not entitled to serve in office any longer than voters determine that they are serving their constituents. -----
