The Weekly J #47WATCH ON  YOUTUBE:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HQ7R8jZk1UThis week Jason invites Porteia Falls, a loan originator from his team, and her husband Jay onto the Weekly J to discuss Black Lives Matter and what's going on in our country, and around the world and how we can work toward a real positive change. They’re also both veterans, so they bring a unique perspective to #BLM conversation. They talk about life in America and on military bases as a black family, how they have to give their kids “the talk” when it comes to how they interact with law enforcement officers, and how that’s affected how they themselves grew up.It’s a really great, open, honest, and often hard conversation to have, but definitely one that needs to be had (along with many others to follow) and we hope you get something good from this episode.Jason C.
