Finally! A thoughtful approachI am so happy to finally have a thoughtful approach to discussing serious issues in our society from a perspective of bringing us ALL together. The opportunity to hear brilliant people having a meaningful conversation has been missing in our society. I love the fact that they are trying to bring people together under Dr. Martin Luther King’s philosophy. Focusing on character is so much more important than the color of our skins. This provides us with the tools to be able to talk about a touchy subject from a Pro-Human standpoint.
Best, most nuanced and objective conversation I’ve heard on this fraught topic. Great guest and loved that she endorsed the Nordic model of ‘wait and watch,” hopefully, please, longer than six months, which isn’t nearly enough time. FAIR Perspectives is an AWEsome podcast with wonderful, thoughtful, fair-minded guests. Many thanks
