Ang loves to share her passions with the community and this week's episode is about the one thing she is most passionate about: her three children. The message for the day is "Keep Your Eyes on Your Children." In the views of our host it is a parent's responsibility to provide love, guidance and support for the the ones that matter most to us and kids need us now more than ever. Every child offers new worlds to discover in their uniqueness and our attention is required. Some of the concerns expressed in the hour include outside influences (schools, family, friends, church, neighbors, sports, etc.), ethics and the need for values and morals at home, building confidence by introducing "the game" established in social dynamics, teaching the difference between the value of money as opposed to acquiring love for it, communication, structure in the family and showing love and its significance to a child's foundation. If life is what we make it it's helpful to have a friend that provides feedback along the paths we create for the future of our children as they make sense of things. Brooklyn Ang's C'est La Vie wishes to share the road map that she has mapped along her journey with hopes that it offers guidance along the way.

Linda Solomon and co-host Khari Wilcox tackle a loaded topic for communities across the country: fear and disconnect in the crossover generations are experiencing in today's culture and sociopolitical climate. Devonne Wilcox joins as a special guest offering context from a high schooler's perspective on proper guidance and the void that results from leadership absent in our communities. Social media as a newfangled element to our systems of morals and values offers mixed messages and unclear leadership, wrapped in crisis language both adults and youth find harder to navigate as policies look the other way when it comes to the concerns of the people. Intergenerational communication is key if we are intent on fostering hope. Actions have consequences and today's lack of accountability fails to establish a foundation for tomorrow's leaders. Meanwhile, the school to prison pipeline grows as vocational pathways are placed at risk by education budget cuts impacting students of all ages across America. Confronting Injustice explores solutions to the challenges faced while navigating our crumbling systems.

Confronting Injustice is tough and reminds us that love is not always easy yet always worth the effort.

Veterans should be valued more in our society as their contributions are continuously overlooked by those that relish in the benefits of their service. The message Haywood shares this Thanksgiving is that we can work together to make it better, with wishes of blessings to the audience in gratefulness.

Attorney Generals James and Bonta state these services as deceptive acts or practices and false advertising that may lead to health risks for women. Glessner describes the details of NIFLA's defense of Free Speech and claim that pregnancy centers should be able to provide expecting women with education and options when considering the two-drug protocol of mifepristone and misoprostol to end a pregnancy.

Host Haywood Fennell offers resources available for those struggling to balance the conflicting realities facing them under the current political climate. Laws exist that protect veterans and their due benefits, one observation made is the lack of leadership demonstrated by government representatives that are quick to ask for the veteran vote yet slow on the draw to providing much needed resources and representation for their so desired constituents. Veterans continue to provide an inmeasurate value in today's society and their voices are often masked by the challenges some face mentally, economically and socially without any accountability for the resources due to them. The invitation is always there to turn to The Other Page Radio to discover the many ways our veterans continue to overcome and overachieve despite however they may currently find themselves underrepresented and underserved.

Conan Harris, prolific philanthropist and community organizer, joins host Haywood Fennel in a candid and edifying episode of The Other Page Radio. A conversation well overdue among peers conveys a narrative of humble beginnings turned victories. No stranger to contributing to the community, Conan clarifies the crossroads he ventures in his commitment to uplift those that may find themselves in lack of direction. We hear of his journey growing up in a single-parent household to developing his mission to guide inner city youths. Harris shares insights like: forgiveness and its role in personal growth, finding direction as we change the way we think, the value of knowing you belong and how it opens doors, the power of love as a foundation and its gift of empowerment, among others. Looking forward, the focus on possibility is provided by the task of setting the example. Haywood and Conan lead their lives by this. Understanding help as support for (and from) others, we are exposed to their visions of community growth through hospitality and tourism and the opportunities present for the local economy, economic development as a benefactor to the members of the community, the importance of politics to building up the community and giving back to the community through real estate. As The Other Page Radio offers us another look on life and the contributions veterans provide this episode offers up tomes on the contributions a life explored provides.

Host Brendan O'Connell invites Abigail Forman, Public Policy Analyst with Liberty Counsel Action (LCA), to explore the potential risks of chemical abortions on our water supply. Forman believes pressure may be required for the federal government to assess how remnants of "at-home" abortions, like organic tissues and pharmaceutical residue, impact the treatment of drinking and waste water as well as the environment. The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mean to ensure access to clean water for all via efforts such as water pollution control, medical waste regulation, the Clean Water Act and the National Environmental Policy Act. The criteria for measuring the effects of chemical abortions, as opposed to surgical, are exposed as insufficient in the eyes of Forman and O'Connell and Life Matters asks whether a need exists to dissect the details at the cutting edge of this phenomena that may be affecting the population.
