On Wednesday's show: We get insight on the latest developments in politics in our weekly roundup.

Also this hour: We reflect on the legacy of Monica Roberts, an influential activist for transgender rights who passed away five years ago. We remember her work fighting for equality and visibility during a time of progress and pushback, and we discuss where Houston’s transgender community is headed next.

And how can something as innocuous as design fight racism? Author Omari Souza discusses his book, Design Against Racism, ahead of an event at Kindred Stories Thursday night.
