In continuing the theme of Loving Day, this week Edye is joined by her good friends Brian Bouwens and wife Julianne Howe-Bouwens. They sat down to talk about how sometimes the best love for us is the kind that challenges us to step outside of the box that the world often tries to force us to stay in. Listen to this "Loving" couple's meet-cute and how their love has flourished over the years. 

This week Edye is joined by Rob Schuitema, Director of Public Programs and Dr. Stephanie Ogren, VP of Science & Education both of the Grand Rapids Public Museum. In exploring the newly formed partnership between Ebony Road Players and the Grand Rapids Public Museum, the tree discuss how beautiful it can be when themes overlap and bring forward new connections. 

Think about this...
The content may not be easy to be a part of but when these conversations are had in a safe space and in an intentional way, it provides the opportunity to learn and understand one another. This understanding bridges the gap of divisiveness. 

We hope you enjoy this week's episode.

This week, Edye is joined by Randy Goble, Director of Engagement for Kent District Library. As Ebony Road Players prepares to present "Alabama Story" by Kenneth Jones, Edye and Randy explore how libraries are the first target in all attempts at censorship. 

You may not know all the fights our librarians and library administrators encounter but you should know that their efforts to keep the libraries representative of the communities they serve never ends.

We hope you enjoy the episode and it moves you to take a visit to your local library soon!
