Sisters Audrey and Melannie joyfully return to the microphone after an extended absence. During their time away, significant events have unfolded in the world, as well as in their personal lives. This episode serves as an honest reflection on the challenges, struggles, and “darkness” that caused them to step away from the mic for a while. However, it also highlights the powerful transformative force of LIGHT that has inspired them to return and use their voices to speak about freedom and liberation.
State Representative Melanie Morgan (D-29th District) takes center stage in this episode as the Sisters celebrate June 19th – Emancipation Day! As the sponsor of HB 1016, a Washington State legislative act aimed at officially recognizing Juneteenth as a legal holiday, Representative Morgan provides valuable insights into the process of turning this bill into law, shedding light on the challenges, strategies, and efforts involved. She opens up intimately about her personal motivation to sponsor the bill and her vision for the long-lasting impact it can have on future generations.
