Summary
Join Brandi Grayson to discuss the challenges and obstacles families face today. Discussions, guests, and interviews will focus on vulnerable populations--specifically Black families. We cover controversial topics, from religion to race and from relationships to policies to legislation. Join the finest hostess with the most-ess Brandi Grayson every week. On this weekend's edition of the show, Brandi opens up about the emotional impact that doing the work she does in Madison and greater Dane County takes on her. It is not the instigators that constantly nitpick at the work looking for her to slip up that bothers her the most on weeks like this. No, it is the silence that she hears from the folks that benefit from the work she does for and in the community. That silence is deafening. We share a clip from Louis Farrakhan, about how the message that people who identify as black has remained the same for decades, and how even though those doing the work to address the black agenda's work is not always lauded by the community, it is important work that must continue.
