STAND with Kelly and Niki Tshibaka

When Stevie Giorno made a stand for his personal beliefs at Belmont University, he plunged into a whirlwind of controversy that would test his mettle and challenge the very essence of freedom of speech.

As they share their experience with us, the episode paints a stark reminder of the vital importance of individual integrity and the right to express one's views, regardless of prevailing social pressures.
