The Urban Light Hour

This week I talk with one of my new favorite people, Chicago native Marquinn McDonald. A martial arts instructor and teacher, I first saw Marquinn on a VNT segment as he tried to decide whether he wanted to join the Chicago Police Department. In the wake of the Laquan McDonald shooting, DOJ investigation and recent threats by President Trump to send in the feds, choosing to join the force isn't a decision to take lightly. Listen as Marquinn shines a light on the realities of living in the shadow of the city's negative perception and tells me what community members like him are doing to change the city and what we all really can and should do to affect lasting change.

Its a new year and a new episode with everyone's favorite honorary Huxtable, Kelli, aka Urban Light. Join us in the off-the-cuff roving convo about wokeness, the BLM movement and what's wrong with the black community.

Its officially 2017!!! And after breaking 3 resolutions in the first 4 hours of the year I need to reevaluate ASAP. Feel free to take notes or just follow along because I'm going to be a better adult if it kills you.

A super short recording for distribution purposes. Which means we are that much closer to ruining lives and opening minds. Maybe.

Introductory episode; just a few news items I had thoughts on from this week and testing my new recording rig. Don't judge me!
