Drinking Lead In America 💧

In the first segment, I address our lead pipe epidemic in America. I go over the issues that are currently being experienced in Chicago, what is being done to address them, how the federal government is responding to the crisis & my thoughts on their efforts. In the second segment, I am joined by T.S. Hathaway. We discuss her experiences with the healthcare system in Arkansas. She explains how religion is intertwined with healthcare, her challenges she's faced with the industry & how state policies have impacted women across the state.
