September Leaves

Wellness Loud
About this episode

Our story tonight is called September Leaves, and it’s a story about some time outside as the wind blows and the acorns fall. It’s also about the scent of bonfire, the weight of a dog laid across your legs, spaces where you feel safe and among friends, a memory of last summer and a glimpse of the coming winter.

We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to Equal Justice Initiative. Protecting basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society.
