Ever felt disillusioned by the idea that your single vote doesn't make a difference? Let's debunk that myth together as we tread into the world of voting, underlining why your vote indeed matters. Our vibrant guest, Ayanna Watkins, Executive Director of Memphis Interfaith Coalition for Action Hope (MICAH), exposes the real power of voting, throwing light on the gravity of each vote and how it can tip the scales in an election.

Finally, we focus on the potential of community and advocacy. We challenge you to recognize your own power and take responsibility for igniting change.
