YBF POLITICS: Lyndon Pryor of Louisville Urban League Talks Breonna Taylor Case + REAL Social Action In Sports&Politics - a podcast by TheYBF.com

Will Breonna Taylor's killers ever be brought to justice? Are all of the protests and uprisings making an impact in Louisville? Will the rampant voter suppression be addressed in time for the November 3rd election? When is the next election for a new Kentucky AG? Should collegiate athletes be paid, especially if they're forced to play during these Covid times? How can working parents get help as virtual school is back in session? All is discussed!

It's not everyday you can reunite with college classmates and friends whom you started your career journey with.  Natasha chops it up with her fellow Texas A&M University alum Lyndon Pryor, Chief Engagement Officer of the Louisville Urban League, about EVERYTHING and anything happening in the social justice space right now.  The Urban League is on the forefront of making change, so we want to know exactly what they're doing and how we can all get involved.

After both made it through the tough conservative landscape of TAMU as two of the VERY FEW tough and non-conservative folks in their political science classes, it's the perfect time to bring their expertise full circle and talk about all the things. 

Lyndon holds a Masters Degree in Higher Education Administration and has joined the Louisville Urban League as their Chief Engagement Officer after several years of experience in University student affairs and student development.  He manages the Youth Development and Education Department and the Health Education and Policy Department, in addition to all League communications. So, he has the perfect insight and expertise to speak on what's happening on the ground in Kentucky.

Natasha and Lyndon discuss the Breonna Taylor case, the next steps we should expect (or not expect) from Attorney General Daniel Cameron, and universities in Kentucky (and beyond) and their handling of the Covid crisis when it comes to black student athletes.  It's all a doozy, and there's much to discuss.

We love first hand info from those dealing DIRECTLY with hot button social issues every day, and that's what we're getting.  How do we REALLY get social justice in every aspect that matters?  Let's talk about all that ish!
