This week on The Black Docket, we’re telling the story of Christie Neely and her son, Jordan Neely a family whose name the country learned years apart, under very different circumstances.

We begin where this story actually starts: with Christie.

A Black mother. A New Yorker. A woman working to build stability for herself and her child in a system that never made it easy.

From there, the story unfolds across time, courtrooms, city streets, and public spaces revealing how one family’s experience intersects with domestic violence, mental health, housing instability, and the way the justice system responds when harm happens behind closed doors versus in full view.

This episode isn’t told in headlines or soundbites.
It’s told in order.
It’s told with context.
And it’s told with the people at the center treated as full human beings, not symbols.

If you’ve followed the conversations around Jordan Neely, this episode will give you the history most people never heard.

If you’re new to this story, this is the place to start.
