    In this special music-themed 'OPO' remix, I’m joined by Kil Kilpatrick (Apartment 5B Podcast) to revisit a definitive coming-of-age album: Common’s One Day It Will All Make Sense. We’re breaking down the legacy of this 1997 classic and why it still resonates with us today.

    In this episode, I'm sharing a personal story that offers more insight into who I am. It revolves around a Bible I took from a hotel, which represents much more than its Christian teachings. For me, this Bible symbolizes a time of loss, discovery, and the strong bond I share with my mother. We will also examine how museums can innovate by extending their influence beyond their walls.
