Listen to the UNcivilized Podcast:

All diversities and differences must be respected.

The differences exist. Differences of opinion, thinking, acting, cultural, political, social, gender, and even race. All differences merit respect.

Today's guest Shannon Rohrer-Phillips met us in this episode. She has an amazing voice on matters such as race, gender, and women empowerment.

What can we do as a country to come together, the different roles we can develop in our lives, how to reconnect with our deeper selves to heal shame and blame. Those are some of the topics you will hear in today's episode.
