Everyday Heroes with Andrew Norlen

Stand Up with Debra Walton

June 16, 2020 • Season 1 • Episode 11

In this episode I sit down with the incredible, Deb Walton. Black Lives Matter, and during this very important time, movement and tipping point in our history and future, I think it is vital for those of us with privilege to pivot our hearts, minds, and energy toward how we can help our black brothers and sisters. Thank you for taking the time to listen, learn and absorb everything Deb has to share today. The only way we can empathize is by listening and taking action. We must do more than just be kind and loving, that isn't enough. We must fight injustice, stand up for the marginalized and demand change for our broken systems, from the top down.
