We are so very excited to share this episode with everybody. Today we welcome Kim Hunt who currently serves as the Executive Director of Pride Action Tank, part of AIDS Foundation of Chicago. Pride Action Tank is a think tank that initiates change on many levels through inquiry, advocacy, and action. Pride Action Tank focuses on the improvement & development of opportunities for LGBTQ+ communities in the Chicago Region.

On this episode we discuss the many issues around homelessness, the particular challenges of LGBT Youth Homelessness, issues of race & policy, and even a little Star Trek.

We hope you enjoy this episode but more importantly & hope you take this as an opportunity to learn, grow, and hopefully get involved in working towards a better future for those who are in desperate need. Resources and information linked below.

More About Kim

In addition to what is listed above, Kim has had a decorated and busy career spanning urban planning, transportation, and social work/justice. Kim currently holds too many positions to count. DJ tried to list everything at the beginning of the show and ran out of room on his note card! That is to say, Kim is exceedingly committed to the projects that she is involved in and always seems to have a little bit more to offer when needed.

Kim started her career in the Urban planning working with the Chicago Transit Authority eventually leading her to pursue a second Master’s degree. This moved led her to start a management consulting firm called Affinity. This organization sought to bring visibility to LGBTQ+ people of color in the South Side of Chicago. You can read more on their website about the numerous accomplishments and progress that this organization has made in for this cause.

Kim was inducted into the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame in 2016 for her work and still maintains her spot as the Executive Director of Pride Action Tank, leads the Outspoken Storytelling series, and serves on countless committees and boards both locally and nationwide. Kim’s efforts largely focus around and advocates for the development of LGBT youth Homelessness programs and services.

I talked about the scriptures that some Christians use to justify their bigotry and hate. I also discuss why scriptures from the Old Testament do not hold us hostage anymore because Jesus Christ fulfilled those laws and teachings by living his life without sin, dying and rising so that we may be saved by Gods grace and not sacrifices and deeds.

Llisteners will be familiar with our guest on this week's episode. We are delighted to welcome back our dear friend and lovely rumbling voice, Kyle back to the show. This is our third show with Kyle and we expect that you'll be hearing much more from him in the future. Kyle joined us for two previous shows regarding the great COVID debacle but this week's episode is more in his wheelhouse as we discuss all things law enforcement assessment.

The show is broken into three main parts: the process of becoming a police officer, on-the-job assessment, and fitness for duty evaluations following an incident. This show is not meant to criticize any one position or another regarding law enforcement. Rather, we hope to offer an alternative perspective on some information that is in the Zeitgeist of Americans amid recent events.

As always we challenge our audience to read beyond the headlines, ask questions, and seek the Truth in all things. This isn't the time to be intellectually lazy.
