Episode 380 Hope Ignited

On this week's episode, there were two things that ignited hope for me this past week. One was the championing of ordinary people by the new mayor of NYC, Zohran Mamdani. Witnessing a leader with compassion, courage and integrity stirred in me some much needed hope.The other was how powerfully the black voters came through, once again, to ensure most of the blue wins across the country. As Kieth Boykin points out "Black voters show up for policies that help every body: affordable housing, lower utility bills, jobs, justice and democracy itself!"  Hope is ignited in me when we speak up against hatred, violence and corruption! When we take a stand for decency, respect and honoring the constitution. May we unite in justice, in truth, and in joy. May we come together to empower the marginalized. May we continue to ignite hope. And may we find creative ways to keep that hope alive!  Enjoy the podcast!
