This is addressed to progressive men who want to live in right relationship with the people around them. It’s possible you’ll find something relevant in this message, even if you’re not a man, so stick around.
Also, there’s a moment toward the end where the video poops out, because my laptop battery was dying. I come back, though. Thanks for people who stuck it out.
Thank you Evan Stern, Meri Aaron Walker, Mustafa Santiago Ali, Mona Mona, Rachel-We are Renee and Keith, and over a hundred other neighbors for tuning into my live video! Join me for my next live video in the app.
