In this mini episode we’re serving a scoop of spirituality! Naiomi shares a reflection she prepared for one of our spirituality nights. She challenged us to question, "Will we have the resolve to look at some of the problems in the world, and ask 'What's going on?' with the intent to do and be better?"
