Conversations with Tamekia

The Crown Question

What Is the Crown Question?

At the end of every episode, Tamekia leaves you with one question — The Crown Question. It's not a quiz. It's not a test. It's an invitation to take the conversation home, into your family, your organization, your community, and sit with it.

These are the questions that don't have easy answers. The ones that matter most.
