Two and a half years ago we stepped into something new...a podcast and a political circus. This episode was recorded in November 2016, just 3 weeks after the Trump election. It was our very first recording - an episode we were initially unsure whether we would use but, after reflecting, it seemed timely and important given our current political climate.  Dr. Maria Nieto-Senour, Professor Paul Khalid Alexander, and school psychologist Vi Nguyen, shared their reactions to the election, talked local politics and community activism.

As beginners in podcasting, our sound quality and hosting needed some improvements. Thankfully, we had amazing guests who carried the conversation. Thank you Maria for opening your home to us...again. We invite you to listen and reflect with us. Hope you enjoy!
