Wrongfully Accused: How One Terrifying Encounter Changed My Life
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
At 24 years old, while working as a community mental health case manager, I was pulled over at gunpoint by nine police officers, all because of a false accusation.
In this video, I share my firsthand experience, what happened that day, and how it changed my life and career.
If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, misjudged, or unfairly targeted because of how you look or where you come from, this story is for you.
