TKAM #805 Children Are The Future #AffirmationFriday

Summary: 2.23.18 The week is over, but there’s no better time than now. If you put some good energy, good energy will come around. Take some action, be the core of your plan, not just a part of it. #AffirmationFriday TK and Conscious start out the show by talking about their Tuesday in Mount Vernon. Gentrification is far from it, but the ghost may linger around. Speaking of ghosts, Conscious tells us that he wants to go out well from this world. He’ll probably get a bodega mural after he’s gone. It might not look like him though. In #NewsYouCanUse: Brendan Fraser confesses to being groped by major figure from the Golden Globes. Barclays Bank has been outed for their gender pay gap. Good Samaritan in California stops a kidnapping. In previous news, a listener shares her story about a similar case in the Bronx. 45 meets with the children from the Parkland shooting and does the expected. The March for Our Lives is gaining momentum. Following #ChatroomCheckin, we take you to the discussion politicians are too scared to have. What are the roles race and privilege play in politicians listening? Should it matter? What the Parkland shooting teaches us about disrupting the status quo. #NeverAgain We leave you on a positive note though. The question is, how can we move forward? One of the answers: together. We’re many, and most of us mean well. There’s love out there for our fellow people regardless of skin, gender, religion, or anything. Just love. It’s a good start. #AffirmationFriday @TKinTheAM is live every M-W-F 10-1130am EST on bondfireradio.com and tunein app. Same day replays 7pm EST also available on Apple Podcasts, GooglePlay Music, mixcloud, and Spreaker!
