Global Brothers Podcast #QuarantineLife Episode 5 - Leon Ford | "Passion Into Purpose"

Published: June 4, 2020, 4 a.m.

“We were socially conditioned to be oppressed. Who said that slavery was abolished? The only freedom we have is the freedom to consume — clothes, shoes, cars, and property. Some black folks think that freedom can be purchased. Buy land they say as if black Americans didn’t own land before just to be murdered on their doorsteps. I’m not afraid to die, and I refuse to be murdered on my doorstep over a lie.” - @leonfordspeaks 

We are very pleased to have a chance to speak with our brother and have him share his story with you.  A great friend of the show, Leon is an inspirational young brother who is a survivor of police violence (shot multiple times at close range) that left him paralyzed but not finished.  Since his traumatic ordeal, he has run for City Council in Pittsburgh, PA, written his first book, “Untold,” traveled internationally (in his wheel chair) to spread his message of hope, became a public speaker and has just released an award nominated documentary, “Leon.”    Oh, he’s also learning to walk again! @leonfordspeaks - IG
