In this episode of A Lawful Truth, Andrea Lawful-Sanders engages in a deep conversation with Derrick Slanger, a 33-year-old Liberian-born and West Philadelphia-raised content creator, about the upcoming elections, voting trends and issues among his peers (specifically men who are Black or Liberian), and the perceived political landscape by his generation. They discuss their shared yet different experiences at Derrick’s high school alma mater, the impact of racial awareness on Black boys in predominantly white spaces, and the challenges younger voters face in the 2024 election. The conversation also explores the importance of local elections, healthcare, cost of living, and the societal and political perceptions of women.
