I read the prologue to This Child Will Be Great, the powerful memoir of Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, Africa’s first elected female president.

In this episode, I break down two landmark Supreme Court decisions: Mapp v. Ohio (1961), which expanded Fourth Amendment protections against unlawful searches, and Miranda v.

In this episode, I take you inside my visit to the Comedy Zone in Greensboro, where I watched the legendary Michael Blackson light up the stage. From his wild energy to the crowd’s reactions, I bring you along for the jokes, the vibe, and the full experience. Tune in for my recording from the show.

I had a brief conversation with Daniela Bushiri on Memorial Day. Born in Congo, raised in South Africa, Daniela is a third-year PHD student at Columbia University in New York City; she studies Chemical Engineering.
