Before you listen to this podcast please understand I am not making light or trivializing the pandemic crisis or racism or our political divide. This is an edgy podcast lesson and its design is to help and not to create arguments. This is a 20 minute lesson that I truly hope helps. This is a four step lesson I hope helps people converse and work together and cooperate EVEN WHEN IN DISAGREEMENT!
