## Resource

On this episode of Whittenburg Drive the Podcast, we’re joined by Nikitta from season two for a wide-ranging and heartfelt conversation about life in the U.S. right now. We talk about why history still matters, unpack the conversation surrounding Don Lemon’s arrest, and reflect on how current events shape our everyday realities. Amid the heaviness, we also explore the importance of finding joy, leaning into the things that keep us grounded—like music, BTS, and favorite travel memories. It’s an honest, thoughtful, and human conversation about staying informed while still holding space for joy.
