My Morning Coffee Podcast was started at the Morris Media Studios in 2019 to provide a safe place for difficult things to be discussed. Two years later, one of the most divisive and contentious subjects in our society is policing, the call to defund the police, and the role that law enforcement plays in our lives. The two hosts of the show: Tonya McKenzie, a business owner, PR & Leadership Consultant, and Los Angeles County Commissioner, and Gia Sneed, a Lieutenant with Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and fashion designer, both are members of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated and graduates of California State University, Northridge. In the spirit of the show’s mission, during the social unrest of 2020 with the murder of George Floyd and racial upheaval, My Morning Coffee hosted a series of talks with all-African-American police officers, Black in Blue. It was a successful attempt to give voice to those being left out of the conversation. It was honest, open, and diverse with officers from Georgia, Ohio, , Tennessee, and California.
