The Daily Radical: A Social Justice Podcast
A world that centers community, right relationship, and humanity shouldn’t be a radical concept, yet it is. Building this world will not happen overnight; it takes hard conversations to develop a path forward. With a focus on higher education, Doctora Nicole navigates nuanced topics with experts in their fields. When solutions center around equality, we still need to tip the scales of justice to a true balance. Through transparency and radical ideas, Doctora Nicole and her esteemed colleagues untangle the intricacies of today’s social climate while exploring possibilities for a better future.
