Across the Kitchen Table with Elwood Brant
Everybody has a story to tell. And there was a time when we would share those stories around the kitchen table. Laughing, telling jokes, talking about the events of the day. Heated debates, tragic loss, living life. The kitchen table is where we could share our lives. So come sit with me and my friends as conversation unfolds across the kitchen table.

Katya
In our current culture of fear and discrimination against our neighbors to the south, it is important to realize that we are all human. The United States is a country of immigrants and our past record has shown that we do not treat them well.
