Welcome back my raving fans. Thank you for your continued support of the show.
This interview was done about 18 months ago by a moderator at StoryCorps (One Small Step). The One Small Step program was created in an effort to remind the country of the humanity in all of us, even those with whom we disagree. Learn more about their initiative to bridge political divides, one conversation at a time.
My guest was Chiereme Fortune a young black Democrat from Bowie Maryland. I am very white, from Utah and at the time may or may not have been a screaming Republican. On the surface, the two of us may have avoided ever getting to know each other but in the end we realized we had much more in common than we didn’t.
I apologize up front as part way through the conversation she kept getting cut off so had to do the second half of the interview via cell phone.
Our moderator was Lea Zikmund, whom I have had as a guest on my show since then about a recent book she published.
Chieremie will be coming back on the show in the next month or so with an update on her life and the cool things she has been doing so stay tuned. Please enjoy the show and maybe think about someone who you have disagreed with in the past or currently that may be creating a divide and see how you can bridge that gap by simply being interested in their story and learning from them with no agenda other than love.
