40. A Conversation with Robert Emmons Jr.
To wrap up Season 3, we sit down with Robert Emmons Jr. to discuss his campaign for Congress and how he plans to make an impact in Illinois' 1st District. His answer, #WeAreTheSolution!
He is a strong believer in people power and coalition building. Prior to announcing his candidacy, he spent months interviewing residents of the district to hear and learn what they needed and wanted in a Representative in Congress and what were some of the issues they were facing daily. What he heard inspired him to take the leap and be the change he wanted to see. We are happy to support him during this journey! #Chicago #Illinois #Politics #2020election #Southside #Congress #MillennialLeadership #MillennialImpact

12. A Conversation with Dominique Jordan Turner
Bro on the left gives politically correct answers. He didn’t feel genuine to me. He felt out of place
Great interview!!
Like like like and like Guy's a moron.
As a Black Man and Retired Veteran you are an embarrassment.
A drunken driver. Lock him up.
im curious to find out when they quit
Why though? We need more like them!!!
You need to do your fact checking before doing pieces about monsters like Wes Bellamy. Bellamy is in fact, a smooth talking race baiter, homophobe, victimizer and hate profiteer. I am also, 100% certain both he and his sidekick buddy 'former VA Governor Terry McAuliffe' played central roles in standing down over 1600 Police and National Guard in Charlottesville and if people cannot figure out why then they're either too cucked with 'Socialist racial hatred/divide for Political gain' or they are too ignorant.
Subbed when I heard The Kendrick instrumental, keep it up and push content out
I appreciate to be alive to see this historic moment for me to see people look that look like me sitting at the tables making move a decision. I was not aware of this young man until I run across this sister who I follow on Instagram. I'm so excited
Thank you guys for putting yourselves out there and letting the whole world know we exist. We need a strong unity of Brotherhood if we are ever going to increase that 2 percent margin.
You so cute
This is so encouraging to see as I'm raising my 4 sons. I feel so blessed to have you as my son's 4th grade teacher. Thank you for all you do for our community.
I love you Sonia Jackson Myles.
"The View From Room 205" is an excellent piece. Linda comes from some really interesting angles with it. I heard it on PBX. Thanks to her for doing these question/answer sessions on it.
I just found your channel. This is the 3rd video I watch and I am really enjoyed my your show. The videos are simple to follow with and done stupendously. Hope to see your channel you channel evolve and see how much better the content get as you develop the craft.
I loved when Jones said “it’s okay to be a work in progress and a masterpiece”
Keep up the great work Quamiir!
You're welcome Quamiir! #FollowingGreatness #TrustedLeaders #StrivingForSuccess
I work with disadvantaged kids and parents. I am interested in the needs you believe a community should address. I am in touch with Nazeer! Dr. Joan Miller Bloomsburg University
I loved this interview! She is so eloquent!
Good Interview!
WOW, thank you for that conversation with DJT! I was engaged and motivated to keep pressing toward my passions; oh, so many! MGP
Inspired!
Let's face it Bernie Sanders was a failure who endorsed a criminal for president after she stole his nomination from him via the process of corruption.
I like how Kenneth story brought the details of Dr. Carol Dweck's book. I need to start reading that book!
I enjoyed this story!!!! It's important that more black men become champions for our black boys just as Cory did for Joseph!!!!!
