In this maiden episode of "Slap the Power", Maiya Sykes and Rick Barrio Dill introduce themselves and the show, which aims to turn artistry into advocacy through the lens of music, comedy, movies, visual arts, and more. Special guest, the one and only Marinda Davis (Dancing with the Stars, Broadway Dance Center). Together they try and raise awareness on key issues affecting young people and women especially in Florida but also republican state legislatures nationwide.   And how we can try and make meaningful small changes together that can lead to voices being heard louder in our communities and worldwide.  And as always, they aim to make fun of everything.   Because EVERYTHING today seems like its insanely important and ridiculously stupid, all at the same time.

And BIG SHOUT out to our show sponsors, the awesome new card game @rollorbounce and https://rollwithitorbounce.com

Also, we could not have launched properly without the BEST Tequila company in the business having our backs, EL CHRISTIANO!  Thank you guys so much for the support and make sure to get you some!!!    El-Christiano.com and @elchristianotequila
