Resiliency to Rise | In Honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Bonus Episode)

Welcome to a special Martin Luther King Jr. Day episode of Courtside Forever. Today, I'm giving a speech at a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event, and I wanted to bring my speech to the podcast. 

This bonus episode is inspired by my personal visits to significant sites in Atlanta—Dr. King's birthplace, his home church at Ebenezer Baptist, and the King Center, which deeply moved me and connected me to the reality of his life and mission.

I’ll also dive into the symbolism captured in my children's book, where a father and daughter enjoy ice cream at the Lincoln Memorial, the site of Dr. King’s iconic “I Have a Dream” speech. This image is a reminder of the everyday moments that can hold profound historical reflections.

In this episode, I reflect on Dr. King not just as a leader of civil rights but as a man who was a son, a husband, a father, and a voice of justice whose teachings are still relevant. As I look at the steps we've taken towards equality and the steps we still need to take, I’m reminded of the power of hope and the importance of continuing the work he started.

Join me as we explore how Dr. King’s message of love, justice, and unity challenges us all to live better and dream bigger. Let’s honor his memory by committing to be part of the ongoing journey towards a more equitable world.
