Rooted in Reality is your go-to for breaking down politics without the B.S. With a background in political science and a real passion for civic engagement, this show brings a fresh perspective to the political conversation — one that bridges the gap between everyday people and the systems that shape our lives. It’s part civics class, part group chat — all rooted in real life. We’ll still tap into pop culture, reality TV, and whatever else is going on, but politics is the main dish. If you’ve ever said, “I don’t do politics,” this show is especially for you.

Ida B. Wells
<p>This week, I’m honoring Ida B. Wells — the investigative journalist who exposed the truth about lynching when telling the truth could cost you your life.</p><p>After her friends were lynched in Memphis in 1892, she used data, reporting, and fearless writing to dismantle the lies that justified racial terror. Her work reshaped journalism and civil rights history — even as she was pushed to the margins.</p><p>In this episode, I’m breaking down her story and why her name deserves to be centered, especially during Black History Month.</p>
