Hosts Adolph Mongo, Vanessa Moss, Allan Lengel and special co-host, Detroit Deputy Mayor Todd Bettison talk with Alberta Tinsley-Talabi, a former state rep and Detroit City Council member, who Vanessa Moss calls "The Mother of the East Side of Detroit."

Tinsley-Talabi is the founder of Mack Alive, a non-profit dedicated to the upward mobility of residents in Detroit, with a particular focus on Southeastern Village residents.

The panel also talks about irresponsible parents with guns and whether it makes sense to charge parents of school shooters.
