This week we begin with discussing what we have been up to, like going to the dentist, as things in our state are reopening. Then we dive into the movie Hidden Figures – what we loved, what we learned, what we realized, and more. Plus, we chat a little on some recent podcast listening and our journey with speaking up against racism.
Note that in an effort to continue to do the work to confront racism in ourselves and society, we are committing to discussing one related resource each month along with our normal book club book. In addition, we are open to feedback in our effort to continue to grow.
Have questions? Send it to us at floralcouchconversations@gmail.com and we will discuss on a future episode. Our June book club book is Call Me by Your Name: A Novel by André Aciman.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
