Trigger Warning: This episode discusses political violence and the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk. Please listen with care, as some details may be disturbing.
In this deeply reflective episode of Life Points with Ronda, we examine the shocking events at Utah Valley University where Charlie Kirk was gunned down during an outdoor event. From the immediate chaos under the tent to the national and international fallout, we unpack how this moment forces America to confront the dangers of political violence.
As a Black woman, I share my perspective on the contradictions between Kirk’s words in life and the empathy shown after his death. We explore media framing, societal polarization, community responses, and the broader lessons about safety, democracy, and healing in a time of profound division.
This is not an episode about politics — it is about humanity, loss, and the urgent need for unity in a fractured nation.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
