Just because homelessness is a complex problem doesn't mean that there aren't simple solutions.
The obstacles to ending homelessness stem from the "address homelessness" industry itself, which benefits from the persistence of the problem rather than its eradication.
What's needed, according to today's guest, Momma Kai Sanders, is affordable housing.
That's the root of the issue: homes that people can afford to live in.
And Momma Kai isn't just talking about it. She's taking action — running for mayor of Raleigh, North Carolina, on a write-in ticket.
She's running for her son, Wisdom, to create the policies now that can give him a chance at a good life in the future.
She's fighting for the most vulnerable and marginalized from a position not just of solidarity, but identity.
She's all about compassion and authentic leadership.
If you can vote for her, I hope you do so.
If you know folks who live in Raleigh who can spread the word, I hope you reach out to them.
It's a long shot, sure, but the most important question isn't "Who's going to win?" Instead, it's "Whose team do you want to be on?"
