This Needs To Be Said...is a talk show based out of Charlotte. The purpose of this show is to get a message out to everyone who will listen that says, 'There is an elephant in the room, let's talk about it!" The 'elephant' is anything that we like to pretend does not exist. If you ever go back to the root of a problem it is never anything major 'at first', but if it is not attended too it becomes major. It is time to expose these 'elephants' and allow people to live a liberated life.
