Be Empowered - Coffee with T Interview w/ Courtney (Cortez) Edwards


Listen Later

Courtney discusses his latest run-in with Nevada police and where he finds himself pulled over for a traffic violation that resulted in seven (7) police vehicles surrounding his vehicle. He feels it had everything to do with the color of his skin...yet unlike thousands of videos that we see every day on social media where black men are slayed, he was able to drive away without a scratch and he tells how it all transpires. (This video was filmed right after George Floyd's death.)

  • Courtney's Bio: 

    Cincinnati native, Courtney Edwards, was born in 1984. Growing up, he moved and migrated around Cincinnati on average every two or three years. He has grown to adapt in both rural and urban environments due to the revolving door of atmospheres.   

    He was shielded when it came to racism for much of his early life until the year of 2001 when a Cincinnati officer shot and killed, Timothy Thomas, a mentally challenged, unarmed black man in the Over the Rhine community. Subsequently, Courtney had a few more encounters with law enforcement after moving to Columbus, Ohio shortly before Cincinnati had started rioting as a result of Tim Thomas' murder.   

    In 2004, Courtney came across some information that has changed the way he would conduct business forever, in a form of a DVD with a Pre-Paid Legal (Now named Legalshield) presentation on it. He knew right away by getting involved with this company that he would be able to provide service from people who were taken advantage of, mistreated, overcharged, and most importantly to him, racially profiled.
