Haywood Galbreath, an award winning photojournalist who has captured numerous Presidents, was the last person to photograph OJ Simpson with his Heisman trophy and was the only photojournalist at all to capture the entire OJ Simpson trial is speaking out now about the truth of racism, the obstacles he experienced getting into the trial and what really happened in that courtroom. Having been blackballed out of the media since the trial ended and having 23 years to reflect and view the role media has to play in today's criminal justice system, systemic racism and more, he shares his truth with us on this episode of Party Politics Podcast, on the True Conversations Network. www.partypoliticsus.com and www.true-conversations.com
Meghan Enriquez, founder of True Conversations LLC has an amazing story. She was adopted and came to America from South Korea at 4 months of age. Her adoptive parents in Massachusetts are white and what she experienced as "identity" growing up, resonated so much. I believe all of you will find something in her story that is not only true for many of us, but is very human.
Last, her fear for her children growing up at this time in history under this administration I believe you will NOT want to miss. We are all connected. Thank you Meghan for sharing a "true conversation!" - Atiba President and Founder of Party Politics US

In this True Conversations truecast listen as two Millennials talk Politics! Our guest is,
Christine Johnson who is a digital marketer with a passion for politics. She has spent the last two campaign cycles focused on digital organizing and fundraising for a progressive member of Congress. As a Democratic politically active feminist millennial, this last election hit her hard... but it's also given her a tremendous amount of hope. She firmly believes that the 2016 election was a wake call to her generation to get more involved in the process and to finally start actively participating in the political process. This is not a time to disengage, it's a time to wake up and get organized.
