When you think of teams, what comes to mind? We tend to think about sports and how a team comprises more than one individual.

A friend once told me that back in the day, boys were told to avoid two things: Girls and Guns. We weren't told why and now look at society.

Music is the universal language. The beat with the words can take us from incredible highs (Rock, Classical, Hip Hop, and R&B) to significant lows (Blues, Country, Instrumentals).

Recently the verdict of the Rittenhouse trial had us thinking. Would he have had the same considerations as the shooter if he was a Black man? If he was a Black man who shot and killed two White men and injured another, would the trial have taken this long?
