Summary
Happy Wednesday BA Fam! Today we're throwing it back to two of our favorite episodes from the last year. First, we're talking about THAT controversial Instagram post from social justice leader Tamika D Mallory where she takes on “lazy” people and gives some… questionable tough love. It’s caused all kinds of debate and we are here to have our own! Then we're throwing it back to one of our favorite guests of the year, amazing and inspirational couple, Sean and Michelle Clark from Double Dutch Aerobics.
