5/3/22 4PM: Give a sister a break
Dr.Ken Harris gets personal; the Doctor went to his doctor. But it’s a new physician because he had been unhappy with his previous care doctor. So today was his first appointment with them but the problem is that they were late…that’s not a good first impression, even then Dr.Ken ended up being proud and impressed with this new physician. What he’s not impressed about is the Supreme Court documents that leaked about overturning Roe v. Wade.

5/2/22 4PM: Something's Gotta Give
Its Monday and Dr.Ken Harris says that somethings gotta give. With new laws in full effect in the city for reckless driving, the argument can be had about how this will affect the minority communities...Unless we come together and make sure we aren't at risk for breaking the laws that would put us in danger. Shouldn't our cars be registered anyway?
