Today I am chatting with Kris Hooks for Episode 160. Hooks is a freelance writer, photographer, and digital producer here in Sacramento.

Kris and I chat about living and surviving with homelessness while going to college; the toxic environment of social media outlets like Twitter; the joy and trauma of moving numerous times as a child; what pulled Kris from studying kinesiology to becoming a student of journalism; how past guest Rachel Leibrock helped him develop as a writer; the terror of thinking The Predator is in your house; how implicit bias has effected our society and leads to incidents like the Shooting of Stephon Clark; if our country will ever acknowledge our past transgressions toward people of color; the experience of a black child in America; and if we will ever change the system that lead to institutionalized racism.
