In this episode of The Real Deal with Dee and Denice, we tackle the pressing issue of gun violence in America. This conversation is about more than just the facts and figures -- it’s about real people, real struggles, and the collective call for REAL, meaningful change. Join us in this compelling episode where personal stories, historical insights, and global perspectives converge, creating a comprehensive dialogue on the urgency of gun control. Together, we aim to transform the narrative of gun violence from a recurring headline into a chapter of history. 

Tune in for a powerful episode that weaves through the emotional landscape of school shootings and personal losses, including Denice's heart-wrenching story of her nephew, Kenan Lamont Newton. We confront the stark racial disparities in gun law enforcement and how these laws disproportionately affect Black communities… But our discussion goes beyond borders as we introduce a fresh perspective from a UK guest, bringing an international viewpoint on effective firearm licensing systems. As we navigate through the shadows of the COVID pandemic and its link to an alarming rise in gun fatalities, especially among children and teens, we emphasize the vital role of local elections in shaping gun control policies and underscore the power of universal background checks and licensing reforms.

In this episode, Denice shares her exciting news about being invited to speak at a conference featuring her mini documentary on her work in Africa. Dee & Denice then kick off the episode by setting the stage for part II. 

In Part I, they laid the necessary groundwork for navigating the battleground women and girls confront every day, mixing hard-hitting facts & stats with real-life stories! In part II, they’re focusing on solutions. And they aren’t afraid to call out the hypocrisy of the so-called Christian conservatives serving in Congress. 

Then, stay tuned at the end of the episode for their Deals of the Week, where they dive into something politics or otherwise that they just can’t stop thinking about! Denice’s Deal this time centers around two recent events: one involving Casey DeSantis and the other involving the UNLV shooter. Dee’s Deal hones in on the insidious nature of the Republican Party and generations-old Southern Strategy.
