#TimeOfESSENCE episode 3 airs tonight at 9:00 ET/PT on OWN, but before the premiere let’s talk.
This week’s episode gets deep, we mean DEEP. There are a lot of important conversations around gang violence, sexual harassment, and HIV/AIDS, so we felt it was important to bring in a few experts to talk about some of the issues that are still affecting our community today.
