Five years ago, George Floyd’s final words—“I can’t breathe”—sparked global protests and promises of justice.
But what actually changed?
In this episode, Licensed Clinical Social Worker Solomon Richberg returns to the heart of the moment that moved the world.
We break down the stalled legislation, rising police budgets, cultural backlash, and the stories of people still dying—like Breonna Taylor, Tyre Nichols, and Terron Evans Jr.
This isn’t just a reflection. It’s a reminder that grief is ongoing, and justice is still unfinished.

- Who George Floyd Was
- The Day the World Watched
- Protest and Performance
- The George Floyd Justice Act
- The Backlash
- Who’s Still Dying

- A Letter to the Black Community
