Getting Your Vaccine Means Getting Your Life Back [[EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW]]

Posted on by Randi Myles

Today I had the honor of sitting down with Denise Fair, Chief Public Health Officer for the City of Detroit-Detroit Health Department about the new neighborhood initiative to vaccinate 70% of Detroiters.

We discussed the importance of reaching that goal, how it will allow us to get our lives back and spend time with our loved ones. Fair took us to church as we discussed how our community can perish from a lack of knowledge (It’s in the word y’all, Hosea 4:6), and is glad to be able to share with our listeners that  everyone needs to do their part, and Detroit is doing everything they can to make it easier and more convenient.

I also celebrated my “fully vaccinated day” (two weeks after my 2nd dose) with a dance!

Petition Growing To Have LeVar Burton As The New Host Of ‘Jeopardy!’

Posted on by Randi Myles

There’s a petition circulating asking that LeVar Burton be considered for the job as the new host of “Jeopardy!”

The petition is on Change.org and describes Burton’s career as the perfect choice to host ‘Jeopardy!’ because of his 21 seasons of PBS’ “Reading Rainbow,” Geordi La Forge on Star Trek: The Next Generation, as well as Kunta Kinte in the Alex Haley mini-series “Roots.” Change.org said that Burton has “shaped the minds of several generations of trivia-loving nerds.”

Burton wasn’t sure about the petition but changed his mind after seeing close to 200,000 signatures so far. He reposted the link to the petition with the caption, “Leaving this here in the event the powers that be are listening…”

If you think LeVar Burton would be a good host for ‘Jeopardy!’ check out the petition here: Change.org
