Moment of Truth with Ami and Alvin

Moment of Truth with Ami and Alvin is a radio show and KSQD podcast addressing the acute crises and opportunities of our day from an emotional, spiritual and activist perspective. From voting rights and attacks on democracy, to racism and the climate crisis, during each episode we explore each crisis, how it affects us, and what it may ASK of us in terms of: resistance, solutions and spiritual grounding. Hosts Alvin Dawkins and Ami Chen approach all issues as physical, emotional, and spiritual beings—interdependent upon one another and planet Earth.
