[EXTENDED PLAY] 2021: Another Messy Year in Review

2021 has been like no other. And yet it still seemed oddly familiar, almost like a strange case of deja vu. The pandemic, racism, and capitalism are all still wreaking havoc along with a few big name politicians. It’s all giving a hint of rinse and repeat. 

There were some amazing highs to go with the lows. Like the temporary relief we felt after that second vaccine shot, the little bit of accountability we saw in courtrooms across the country, or watching some of my favorite athletes lead the charge in conversations about mental health during some of the biggest moments in sports. To talk about all things 2021, Sylvia, Jess and Chelsea jumped behind the proverbial mic.  

All opinions and views expressed here are not necessarily those of WRFG; they are opinions and views held by storytellers only.
