Episode Description
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” - Martin Luther King Jr “Any instance of inequality is worth writing about, sighing about, crying about, even laughing about,” writes Zahra Hasanian in the forthcoming book, Be the Star You Are! Millennials to Boomers that host Joven Jundal reads and discusses in this important episode about equality. Joven interviews author Mary DeMocker about her book The Parent’s Guide to Climate Revolution, 100 ways to build a fossil-free future, raise empowered kids, and still get a good night’s sleep. Mary shares dozens of ideas and activities to be part of this necessary revolution to reduce impact on the earth. In Ode to Literature, Caitlin Sims talks about how people use books as a platform to convey a message about society, specifically exploring the social inequality in Harper E. Lee’s novel To Kill a Mockingbird.
