EP #31: The Inauguration & the Way Forward with Sunni & Lisa

Sunni and Lisa delve right into The Inauguration of our 46th
President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. and Vice President Kamala Devi
Harris.  This inauguration was definitely different on so
many levels.  This time and for the first time since anyone
can remember, there weren’t thousands of spectators on the
grounds of the mall and surrounding areas.  Due in part to
the continued spread of COVID and the extra precautions related
to the January 6, 2020 storming of the Capitol by extremists,
white supremacists and domestic terrorists… I think you get the
point!  According to the Washington Post, “Inaugural field
of flags on the Mall could be seem form space…” yea, no
spectators this time.  





The ladies discussed various aspects of the event, according to
CNN, An Inauguration Like No Other: Notable Moments of a
Momentous Day.  There were a number of stand out moments,
first and foremost, President Biden’s inaugural speech was
everything, EVERYTHING!  It was so needed, just what the
country needs right now, unity.  Let’s talk about Ms. Amanda
Gorman, Poet and Activist for a moment, what an amazing story she
has, amazing!  Her delivery of such a moving and timely poem
was phenomenal.  Of course Sunni and Lisa discuss Amanda’s
performance during a Grand Slam contest, very moving…you can find
it on YouTube, it’s called “Roar”.  





Looking ahead to the future, it feels as bright as a thousand
suns!  It is understood that President Biden is not the
great white hope.  He instead is the President for these
United States of America.  The hope is that unity will win
over the darkness that has cloaked us and gripped the U.S. like
that of a one thousand pound Burmese python over the past four
years! The ladies are hopeful and hope that you are too! 
There’s much work to be done!  Now is not the time to
rest.  Yes, catch your breath and indulge in self-care, but
do not stop!  Our voices must be heard, we’ve seen it, we
know that our voices make a difference.
