S1E174 - Raumesh Akbari, Brandy Flynn, and Alicia Denton

Real Talk Memphis with Chip Washington

Episode Notes

Guests include TN. State Senator Raumesh Akbari. As a delegate to the Democratic Party, and who some consider a rising star, what is her take on the change at the top of the ticket and can Kamala Harris make history twice. Also, what she thinks about the state Republican Party plan to take over Shelby County. Next, mental health issues are something that families through the generations have dealt with privately in the past but today it might starting to change a bit. Mental health professional Brandy Flynn joins me to talk about this sensitive issue and why it’s important to bring it out of the shadows and into the light. Next, there isn’t a person alive that hasn’t had to deal with an emotional loss of some kind. The question is the ‘how’ do we deal with loss? Counselor and Therapist Alicia Denton joins the conversation to discuss her new book and a special series of conversations and sessions thru the month of August in cooperation with a local area church in the hopes of making uncomfortable conversations a bit more comfortable. That and more both on air and online Monday, 6-7 pm on WYXR radio 91.7 FM. Also, WYXR.org, Tunein, Facebook Live, YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts.

It’s time to talk!
