Vicki Sokolik refuses to be an Ostrich. Her son brought to her attention the crisis of unhoused youth — youth unhoused, not living with a parent/guardian, and not in foster care — in America, and she has been fighting to support this vulnerable population every since. Most active in Tampa Bay, Florida, Vicki is the founder and CEO of the nonprofit Starting Right, Now, which removes barriers for unaccompanied homeless youth to cultivate long-term well-being and self-sufficiency. She is also the author of the new book, “If You See Them: Young, Unhoused, and Alone in America.” Vicki Sokolik joined host Jay Ruderman to discuss the many ways unhoused youth fall through the cracks in our society, how her organization helps them, and also how to build trust with people who could use your help.

Self absorbed, pampered, entitled, lazy. Wow! What a way to introduce a new episode. When you search “millennials” these are just a few of the descriptive words that appear. But are they accurate? Are millennials spoiled and pampered? In this episode, we take a look at this generation of “new” adults (some are just starting out; others have been “adulting” for a while), and examine whether they are misguided or simply misunderstood. Plus, we have a special guest in the studio.…
“Boys don’t cry.” “Stop acting like a girl.” “I’m a man’s man.” Toxic Masculinity. Is it a thing? Or is it just a new way to further emasculate black and brown men? Per usual, Keith and Monica’s views on this issue couldn’t be more different. Take a listen and let us know your thoughts.
Blackface? The N-word? Are we REALLY having to STILL discuss things our brothers and sisters of the lighter hue should and should not do? In 2019? Since 39% of Americans believe Blackface is the thing to do, it looks like we do. So, in an effort to educate and enlighten (and prevent our Caucasian friends from getting knocked tf out), we are providing the first of many “Five Tips 4 Our White Friends.” Take notes, meditate on these tips and if you still have questions, call US first. We are trying to make the world a better place – one tip at a time. Bless, Keith and Mo…
Wedding vows. Do we really mean them? B. Smith’s husband Dan Gasby’s controversial decision to openly date another woman has some of us thinking and others all in our feelings. In this episode of the Soul Purpose Show, we are discussing marriage vows, unpacking their meaning and determining whether for better or worse really means for better or worse.…
Your hosts Keith and Monica discuss Interracial dating. Is it still taboo? Does anyone really care? In this podcast, we discuss the perceived pros and cons of interracial dating and bring to light many of the “in house” conversations we’ve had about this topic. Is love really blind?
Our girl Tamron Hall got married, ya’ll . . .to a white man and some brothers are U-P-S-E-T. We are chatting about this issue around the table again, family. Keith says Mo is dishing up hypocrisy; Mo says Keith is dishing up hate. You all decide. This episode is definitely one you do NOT want to miss.…
