    CA Senator Steven Bradford has been leading the charge on crucial legislative initiatives lately, and I’m honored to welcome him back to the #LegalLens show to discuss some of them! One of our main topics is the recently proposed Senate Bill 1050 - The Racially Motivated Taking of Property - and how it connects to the issue of Reparations. This is a topic we’ve delved into extensively over the past two years on Legal Lens, and recently reignited with our amazing guest Areva Martin.

Having been on the inside of corporate America and now working as a consultant, Dr. Brandreth brings insights and knowledge from the trenches. She’s a thoughtful and constructive critic of the work and will help us discover the “DEI Death Zone” and, more importantly, how to ascend beyond it - very similar to the ambitious and courageous climbers of the famed Mount Everest, along with their trusted and expert Sherpas guiding them. I hope you will enjoy the discussion!
