The Liberation of African American Women: A conversation with Special Guest The Rev. Canon Stephanie Spellers | Part 1 of 2

In this episode, we discuss the crucial difference between being alone and feeling lonely, emphasizing the importance of being 'alive' in others' hearts and carrying them in ours. Is social media bridging the gap or widening it? Are we cultivating genuine connections or fostering a false self?

Tune in to hear Dr. Meeks and host, Chelsi Glascoe challenge the notion of computer-generated companionship as she invites you to consider turning off the digital world to rediscover the warmth of real human interactions. Remember, aloneness doesn't mean disconnection. 

Join us as we reflect on using social media mindfully – not to feed our egos, but to enrich our human experience. Don't miss this thought-provoking conversation on Virtual Voids: Exploring the Loneliness Behind the Likes.
