Hey lady, there is so much going on in the world that it is near impossible to not feel like it's your duty to get involved and help. But where does one start and what does “help” actually mean in the context of activism for social change? This week Charlene A. Carruthers, activist, and filmmaker, joins Dr. Dom and Terri to discuss how her activism fuels her creativity and how both her activism and creativity are answered callings from those who preceded her on this Earth. Sometimes the best way to get started is to take a look around you and dive into your personal history to see the path laid out before you. Tune in and find out how you can make a meaningful impact in this world in a way that makes sense for YOU.Quote of the Day:"May I do what I came here to do." -Charlene CarruthersWhere to find Charlene A.
