This week, our conversation takes a turn we never expected. When ICE agents showed up in Charlotte, fear spread fast, and it got personal. Our dear friend and producer Kristen Stegall joins us at the mic to unpack the shock, the injustice, and the community impact we're seeing in real time. From masked agents at schools and grocery stores to small businesses forced to close their doors, this episode is a real look at what happens when due process disappears, and why we all need to care. True power lies in standing together.   Kristen Stegall is the CEO of Novice Studios, a full-service video production agency based in Charlotte, NC that helps creators show up powerfully and authentically on camera and on mic.   Connect with Kristen: Website IG   Resources mentioned: Compare Foods - Free delivery or pickup, use the code NOFEE2025 The Charlotte Observer   3 Key takeaways from this episode: Fear changes everything, even for citizens. Kristen shares what it's like to suddenly feel unsafe in your own community, and how deeply ICE raids are disrupting daily life. Small businesses need your support. Many Hispanic-owned businesses are closing or operating in fear. Find ways to patronize and protect them. Community care is political power. Showing up for your neighbors, spreading accurate info, and staying vocal matters now more than ever.   🔥SWTHZ South Park is a contrast therapy experience for wellness lovers who want the biohacking benefits of saunas and cold plunges in a luxurious, private environment.
