A Moment with Erik Fleming
My name is Erik Fleming. I am an African American native of Chicago. I have had the privilege of being an elected official in the Deep South. Therefore I created this podcast to express my unique take on politics, as well as encouraging black excellence in leadership. This podcast was a 2021 Black Podcasting Awards Nominee for Best Black Political Podcast and with your support, this podcast will continue to be an uplifting experience and a strong voice in our American political discourse.
