**As a note. I tried something new in this interview which was recording the video while I recorded the audio. I made a mistake with my recording. My good podcasting microphone was not recording my audio. This was my error. I did not realize until I was editing. Many apologies. The good news is that my guest Dr. Tekemia Dorsey sounds great. **
