    We're back! This time, we're tackling "Loving While Black," with our guest, Carl Owens.   Carl was born in Compton, California and came to Sacramento, California at age 11. The seventh of ten children, Owens is the father of a 12 year old girl he has primarily raised as a single parent. A 1997 alumni of Mira Loma High School, Owens prides himself as being the second of his father’s children to walk the stage. Carl is a lover of sports, whether he’s watching or playing. He works hard to keep the big picture as his focus, not just what’s in front of him. Owens is in his third year of working with medical gases for Linde and is engaged to a wonderful woman named Malikka Rogers.  According to Carl, she’s pretty awesome.   For more information:  facebook.com/tacklingtomfoolery twitter: @malikkarogers  Insta: @tacklingtomfool Produced by Bren Inman for Square Pupil Media ©2019 Square Pupil Media  00000153 00000153 00003D0D 00003C61 001EC65E 001EC65E 00007E55 00007EAA 0015610F 0015610F
