The GOP continues using Buzzword Woke to rile up their conservative base. But they struggle to define what the word means.  Roland will show a clip of Fox News host Dana Perino fumbling to explain woke and suggesting WOKE is indefinable.

President Joe Biden hosts a ceremony to award recipients of the 2021 National Humanities Medals and the 2021 National Medals of Arts.  Roland spoke to two of the awardees, Gladys Knight and Johnnetta Betsch Cole.  He will share what they had to say. 

We all need life insurance, and one Colorado-based company makes it easier for black families to prepare for the worse.  Roland will speak with the CEO of Afrikare Life, a new life insurance platform.
