Celebrating Differences
We are all different and each of us can learn a lot about ourselves by listening to others talk about who they are and how they created the person that we talk with. We do some special series to dig deeper into topics that intrigue us. We tend to keep and open mind so expect some of our content or guests to be different than what you are used to.
