Pull up a chair at the Soul Cafe Podcast. Let us “call one another forward instead of calling out”..as MLK Jr says, “if you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, whatever you do keep moving”.Just maybe we need “Another World’ as Libby Rodenbough talks about in her song..now we ain’t talking a ‘too heavenly minded world to be any earthy good’ but a world that is just and loving for all people.So, we hope you will pull up a chair at the Soul Cafe Podcast “through interviews with musicians, activists, deep thinkers and even some commentary from a long time Community Builder, we hopefully will join in solidarity to promote a more loving and inclusive society”.Permission to use: Another World by singer songwriter Libby Rodenbough (of Mipso), from the May 2023 album-Between the Blades.
