Do Not Miss This Show: Torin and Julie welcome Wil Shelton, Author of The Silent Agreement and CEO of Wil Power Integrated Marketing in a knock down interview on the every day fight between Black professionals and the White power structure in our organizations.

Wil wrote The Silent Agreement as a call to action to corporations across America regarding their sincerity in sharing solidarity with the Black community.
