Five days into the new year and there’s already… a LOT going on. In this episode, I break down Trump’s latest move in Venezuela, Ohio’s changes to weed laws, and a Rolling Stone report raising serious questions about Amazon data centers and health impacts like cancer and miscarriages. I also get into what it means now that ACA subsidies have expired, and why the Trump administration is restarting wage garnishment for people with defaulted student loans.

It’s a packed episode — news, context, and how all of this actually affects real people’s lives. Tap in.

This week we're continuing with the HBCU series and this one features a Southern University grad. Aaron takes us through the journey of student-althete turned Defensive Line coach and drops a lot of gems a long the way. Tune in, you don't want to miss this one!

In this episode of Rooted in Reality, I talk about ICE’s presence in Columbus, Ohio — and why it’s not needed or wanted. I break down what ICE actually does here, how their presence creates fear instead of safety, and why local communities are pushing back. Resources below:
