In this episode of Life Points with Ronda, I share my reflections on one of the most powerful voices I’ve encountered on YouTube — Brother Shahid Bolsen of the Middle Nation channel. His fearless commentary has challenged me to think deeper about issues that shape our world: from the containment of Black History Month, to racism as the divided psyche of the West, to the false promises of artificial intelligence, to the truth that whoever disrupts a system controls it.

I also explore his recent commentary on the death of Charlie Kirk — not to honor Kirk, but to highlight how Shahid exposed the exploitation of public tragedy, the hypocrisy of selective mourning, and the disturbing reality that even free speech is being censored when it offends power. His reminder that three other lives were lost that same day, and that over 1,800 people had already died this year to date, puts everything into perspective.

This episode is also my personal thank you to Shahid Bolsen. If you’re listening anywhere in the world, I encourage you to check out Middle Nation on YouTube. I have never joined anyone’s channel membership before, but his is one I will be supporting — because his voice, his clarity, and his courage are undeniable.

Tune in for a raw, honest, and deeply reflective conversation about truth, disruption, and the power of voices that refuse to be silenced.
