AYS Hour with Noor Tagouri

Healing, but Never Forgetting Police Brutality


Listen Later

 with father, activist, author, police brutality survivor, Leon Ford


Leon Ford (@LeonFordSpeaks) shares his process of daily healing, how we can support those who are healing, and how to make sure this moment doesn’t just fade out like it usually does. 


Leon’s story is not only one of survival of a police shooting and community leadership — but is one of understanding we cannot give from an empty cup. In his documentary “Leon” — he shares his FIRST EVER therapy session when making the decision to step down from a city council race.


What happens when people survive police brutality? It is not enough to just survive that trauma - we must support people in the life long journey of healing. Thank you, Leon for your openness and vulnerability.
