From economic disparity and voting rights to environmental justice and homelessness, the conversation explores what has changed and what remains the same since the book’s first release. Tavis also shares the inspiration behind the book’s 11th covenant—on homelessness—and emphasizes the urgency of these issues as America faces a pivotal and historic election season. Tune in to hear powerful insights on accountability, hope, the Black community's essential role in shaping America’s future, and what it takes to move forward. 🔗 Connect with Angela:  InstagramFacebookLinkedInVisit Angela's Website
