Aireon Tavarres (@the_hyphy_kid) is an MMA fighter who has had to put his fighting career on pause due to our current shelter-in-place orders. With his newfound time and the world's fight for racial equality, Aireon is doing something amazing to help spread the importance of the Black Lives Matter movement. After the section of 16th street in front of the White House in Washington, D.C. was officially named “Black Lives Matter Plaza,” big bold yellow letters spelling out "Black Lives Matter" started appearing on streets around the country. Aireon was the one who organized the Oakland, Black Lives Matter street mural. On the pod, Joe and Aireon discuss how he was able to rally the city of Oakland together to create a piece of history, how his time as a fighter has helped him during these challenging times and the legacy he hopes to leave with this chapter of his life.
