In Part 2 ,Michelle and Walter, continue their interview with guest, Donna Hairston, creator of the Blog “Diva with Depression”.

Being prepared for an emergency is something that we don't often think about until we are in one. Then we wish we had taken steps earlier. Hopefully this podcast will prompt our listeners to take under advisement what Captain Willis says and implement what is applicable to their situation.

President Trump called Baltimore “Rat Infested” I wish that was the most important issue facing the citizens of this major Northeastern city. Baltimore is one of the most dangerous cities in the country!
On top of all this ,and to add insult to injury, another embarrassing chapter in Baltimore's troubled history ended Thursday when the city's ex-mayor was sentenced to three years in federal prison for fraudulently selling her children’s books to nonprofit organizations to promote her political career.
Catherine Pugh accepted “full responsibility” for her actions and apologized through tears during the roughly 10 minutes she spoke in federal court in Baltimore before she was sentenced. The veteran Democratic politician said that “no one is more disappointed than me” and added that she did not want to bring “any more shame” to the city.
Our Guest discusses, in detail, the crisis this city is in ,and what might the solution be.

Are we seeing the demise of Baltimore? Is there anything we can do to make things better. One thing we can't do is NOTHING! Or maybe, just maybe, gentrification will save the day.
President Trump has called Baltimore “Rat Infested”. I wish that that was the only problem facing this city. In our quest to get the real story of life in Baltimore, we interviewed someone who knows this city from front to back. This person is a homeowner, parent, grandparent, wife, and has been successful in her career. She has The Wire.
With just over 600,000 residents, the city hit a historically high homicide rate of about 57 per 100,000 people after recent relentless gunfire saw eight people shot — three fatally — in one day and nine others — one fatally — another day.
The new rate eclipses that of 1993, when the city had a record 353 killings but was much more populous before years of population exodus.
By contrast, New York City, with more than 8 million residents, had 306 homicides through Dec. 15.
The total is up from 309 in 2018 and matches the 342 killings tallied in 2017 and 2015, the year when the city’s homicide rate suddenly spiked.
