Six Months, One Mission: What We Built Together + The Legacy of Our Children

Six Months, One Mission: What We Built Together + The Legacy of Our Children Oryne Stewart Sr., producer from The Leon Thomas Group, joins Deneen L. Garrett to close out the first six months of WOC Live — freestyling through the season, unscripted, Mr. Rogers-style, as guests from the WOC Live neighborhood popped in throughout the hour. Deneen and Oryne reflect on what WOC Live set out to build back in March versus what it's become, then shift into an unplanned but overdue conversation about parenting — sparked by May guest Violette Omotosho — digging into entitlement, financial literacy in the Apple Pay generation, access versus earning, and why letting kids fail is a form of love. Along the way, five past guests surprise-joined the live show: Santana Inniss (calling in from Portugal), Dr. Connie Y. Bell, Nicole Seabrooks (mid-celebration for her twins' 17th birthday), Tanya Spencer (calling in from Copenhagen), and RIMIDI (mid-relocation on a Miami Dade College campus).
