Misplaced Life

Ginger Ramseymisplacedlife.com
Co-hosted by Ginger Ramsey and Donzell Lewis, Misplaced Life includes casual yet informed discussions that "dig deep" into current events, hot topics and cultural trends - all with a serious message and a light-hearted tone. By also sharing their personal stories, along with those of their guests, they bring to light the idea that when we reveal, understand, embrace and support each other's journeys as well as our own, we realize that we are more alike than not. We all have those times in life where we feel "MISPLACED" - not where we should be - whether it be in a relationship, career, or any other situation. Each of those "mis-steps" or "wrong turns" are all necessary parts of our LIFE's journey. We are never really in the wrong place, as we are always living the right life. Ginger is a former music industry executive turned artist and "soccer mama" with two teenagers. Donzell has been an artist all of his life, loves acting, his single life and his crazy cat, Mr. Monroe. They are very different "on paper,' but one thing they have in common is that they are both from the South. They are the best of friends who share an appreciate of art in all forms, an interest in understanding many perspectives on life, a deep love for all humans and a strong, sincere motivation for equality of all people from every race, every background, every gender and sexual orientation.

Misplaced Values: The Inequities Within the Fight For Equality

We are all conditioned to rank, rate or categorize each other - quite simply, it's part of our human nature. Or is it? Maybe it is, but why? In this episode, we talk about the prejudices that exist within the fight for equality, and how our "human nature" plays a role. We talk about the origins of this conditioning of "status" and "hierarchy" as it pertains to each other. Throughout our history, there has always been manipulation in so much messaging in man's attempts to exert power over each ot...
