Ep. 5 - "Politricks" (Deep Dish Discussion #1)

Welcome back! We're glad to have you dine with us here at The Grown Table, where we aim to serve a healthy helping of food for thought. We have a delicious spread for you in Ep. 5! Join us, the hosts, Jerome & Darnell, two young adults as we sit down from time to time, and attempt to digest and react to current events, contemplate things going on in our lives, and examine the changing world around us.

On the menu is a hearty serving of home cooked political time talk, just in time for Thanksgiving! This one is compliments of Mama.

Follow and interact with us through our various social media channels and upcoming live stream events! We hope that you brought an appetite and enjoy your taste of what we’ll be serving.

Welcome to our table.
