On both sides of a topic, there's a story and purpose behind them. so we encourage everyone to speak their minds and fight for what you believe but do it safely. Also to be accountable for the beliefs one carries and displays. Enjoy!  RIP Chadwick Boseman - Forever a King.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/latinx-nation4/support
