Welcome to Insight a show about empowering our community. I’m Loraine Ballard Morrill. Crazy weather – right. Downpours, wind storms, sunshine, frost – if you’re bored with the weather just wait a few hours. In any case hope you’re having a wonderful morning despite the weather. There are a lot of kids who aren’t ready for the cold that’s coming this winter. I speak with Tyree Williams about a cool program called Project Cold War Coat Drive sponsored by https://1stnotnext.com/ that provides brand new coats for the boys and girls who need them. 1st Not Next is sponsoring a fundraising brunch Sunday 11-9 from 11 am to 4 pm at the Discovery Center 3401 Reservoir Drive.

I don’t know if the numbers of child sexual abuse are getting higher or just that we’re more aware of the crisis and there’s more reporting. I had an important conversation with a survivor and award winning filmmaker Aishah Shahidah Simmons who has edited a new book of essays called love with accountability: Digging Up the Roots of Child Sexual Abuse.
