29 - Peter Cunningham & The Youth Speak

Peter Cunningham is the executive director of Education Post, a Chicago-based non-profit communications organization promoting education reform. Previously, Cunningham was president of Cunningham Communications, a Chicago-based communications company serving public, private, and nonprofit sector clients.

In this episode, Ali and guest-host Peter talk to Chicago youth about their migration away from street life into becoming contributing members of their community. Wesley and Darius discuss their life on the far southside and westsides of Chicago, gun control, the violence epidemic in the city, utilizing therapy to work through their trauma, the importance of having male role models in their lives, and their take on how better living conditions could be fostered in many stigmatized communities.
