In this episode of Bruh, Speak Up! we dive into the “bystander effect” and explore how silence can create ripple effects that shape both our personal lives and society. Building on our conversation with Dr. H. Bernard Hall in the last episode, we unpack his thought-provoking perspective on “the two types of crimes.” I also share my journey of finding my voice—one rooted in courage, self-discovery, and faith. Together, we reflect on how facing fears, stepping up in moments of crisis, and understanding your deeper "why" can empower us to drive meaningful change. The goal of this episode is to inspire you to break through barriers and take steps toward building a braver, more just world.
