Jerome offers considerable wisdom through his candid and captivating storytelling. He has extensive expertise in domestic and international development, which makes him a highly sought after individual. Jerome is passionate about the work each person can accomplish when they seek to be difference-makers wherever they stand. Greatness can be accomplished when we start with the person in the mirror.

    UnBelievable World w/ BeHoward

    I sit down with the first and only 2-time guest, BeHoward. We discuss his latest musical projects, UnBelievable, and Morning Coffee. Our exchange is full of captivating chitchat and dramatic dialogue. From vulnerability, politics, and purpose, to “God fearing white men,” it is a non-stop roller coaster ride of conversation. Our discussion ultimately leads us to two new segments: “Speak Your Truth” & “The Seven Wonders of the World.” It is truly an UnBelievable World.

    The Cost of Murder

    Every year the police are found guilty of misconduct. When legal settlements are paid, who suffers the expense? Well, contrary to popular belief, it’s not the boys in blue. The recent $12 million settlement received by the family of Breonna Taylor compelled me to examine the true cost of murder, and how it affects the entire nation. The findings reveal a country that is perpetually engaged in policies of self-destruction for the sake of upholding discrimination and inequality. https://prospect.org/api/amp/politics/trumps-40-biggest-broken-promises/ https://www.governing.com/topics/finance/gov-police-misconduct-growing-financial-issue.html?AMP https://www.npr.org/sections/live-updates-protests-for-racial-justice/2020/09/23/916022472/cost-of-racism-u-s-economy-lost-16-trillion-because-of-discrimination-bank-says

    A History of Violence Part 2

    In this second installment of A History of Violence, police riots and the idea of a “police state” are carefully explored. Further attention is given to alternatives to policing. In Part One, I suggest that we should first defund the police. In Part Two, I attest that we should actively work towards a world where we abolish the police altogether. https://truthout.org/articles/seven-examples-of-a-police-state-and-how-they-are-appearing-in-the-us/ https://youtu.be/xuAAPsiD768 https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/police-brutality-cop-free-world-protest-199465/amp/ https://www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie2020.html https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/improving-mental-health-care-america-opportunity-comprehensive-reform

    Crisis in the Community

    Acts of nature affect us all, but they appear to have a more deleterious effect on some groups than others. I am joined by Dr. Junia Howell (University of Pittsburgh), Michael Kenner (Miken Development), and Jerome Moore (Community Changers) to discuss the effects natural disasters have on communities of color, specifically the African American community. Dr. Howell addresses this dynamic on the national scale. Kenner and Moore hone in on Nashville, TN, in the recent aftermath of the March 3rd tornado.
