Maurice (Part 1)
Insightful. Resilient. Matter of fact. "I don't wanna be another statistic." His story of what growing up as a young black male in Holland, as school, police, family and friends have made it difficult to thrive.
This episode was recorded just before the #BlackLivesMatter protests of 2020, so it's not a response to it, but it certainly adds to the conversation in a healthy way. His personal story might be a refreshing break from the media, while also teaching us from his lived experience.
