Today we hear Lilliana Kendra Young's pursuit of justice for all in Indiana State government. Lilliana is a candidate for District 61 of the Indiana State House of Representatives and Founder of The Sisterhood, a support organization in Bloomington, Indiana. She and I peruse topics as off the beaten track as:

☑️How some politicians are clearly slacking off
☑️Why money makes most politicians unaware of the real problems our country faces
☑️Whether transgender women are contractually obligated to play Magic: The Gathering
