A Different World indeed!

14 year old Ty Hobson Powell is the youngest student to attend Howard University, he’s a sophomore political science major that lives on campus with his fellow students.  While there’s no question that he’s intelligent to be there, do you think a 14 year old is mature enough to handle college life?

Part 2:

Guest: Faith Hunter

The entire country is talking about health care, while I agree that changing the current system is necessary we must also begin thinking about preventive care.  Ayurveda presents a holistic approach to health and wellness that is in many ways to polar opposite to the “one size fits all” approach that has become the norm in Western medicine.
