The Maudcast is back and better than ever, with best-selling author and criminal justice activist Shaka Senghor. Maud and Shaka discuss his upcoming book, Letters to the Sons of Society - a soulful examination of the bond between father and sons, and a touchstone for anyone seeking a kinder, more just world. Their conversation touches on fatherhood as a previously incarcerated Black man in America, learning and loving one’s identity, and the value of authenticity. “We do not need to change the narrative, we need to expand the narrative.” Goosebumps. Thank you Shaka!
