Gratitude- w/ KDiebel EBellomy KEscobar ZAbid KWoodford DFowler DJarrells TMills DHarewood

Carolyn Harding with nine activists, GrassRoot_Ohio guests I’ve interviewed over the past year and a half. Feeling barraged by the election debacle, the surge in covid-19 infections and deaths, our innumerable causes, work, family….I struggled to find this week’s show. I needed to embrace Gratitude. It helps me. And no matter how, or if, you celebrate Thanksgiving, it's healing to find the good, the Wins in our work, feel it and share it. So I invited our GrassRoot Ohio guests to join us - to give us a brief update on their work, and to share their gratitude. 1.
