The question that so many Americans are asking today is, how do we unite our nation once again? In the midst of so much division, how can we remember that we are "one nation under God?"

Today's guest is bestselling author, journalist, and political commentator Sophia Nelson, who dives into the topic of unity in America and exhorts us to remember that the Founding Fathers “never said we had to agree all the time."

"They never said we had to like each other all the time, because they didn't," Nelson says. "What they wanted was unity of purpose, and unity and loyalty to the Bill of Rights, and to the freedoms that keep us uniquely American.”

Be sure to check out all of Sophia Nelson's books:

1. Black Woman Redefined: Dispelling Myths and Discovering Fulfillment (2011)

2. The Woman Code: 20 Powerful Keys to Unlock Your Life (2014)

3. ePluribus One: Reclaiming Our Founders Vision for a United America (2017)

Also on today show, we talk with Ean Williams, Executive Director of D.C. Fashion Week about the ways in which our Nations Capital affects the fashion industry, and what the 2020 fall and winter wardrobe necessities are.

Want more? Leigh has several articles exploring such use cases, everything from why protesters in Lebanon are turning to bitcoin to the possibility that dictators may also participate in the crypto ecosystem
