My name is Kaab Nicci Yang and I am interested in conversation. I want to know who we are, where we’ve been, and where we are going.

In this second part of my conversation with Phyllis we talk about healthcare and racism. I think it’s fair to say that here in America healthcare and racism are heavy-handed topics.
