AMP - A Man's Perspective Interview with Greg Jackson of Heal Charlotte
from The Urban Breakdown · host The Urban Breakdown
Vann Lowery and Felipe Blue of "A Man's Perspective" interview Greg Jackson. Greg Jackson adopted Charlottean, father of 3 girls, was a rapper and a sous chef when the September protests began. He showed up with others to protest the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department at its headquarters the day after the shooting of Keith Lamont Scott. But a crucial conversation that day changed his trajectory – eventually, he found the non-profit Heal Charlotte, helped train officers how to communicate with the community in volatile situations, and has created an after-school camp for at-risk youth in his northeast Charlotte neighborhood of Orchard Trace Condominiums. Serving the community and being a bridge of communication between the community and its officials is what drives him. In his words "If everybody did a little, no one will have to do a lot". #charlotte #nonprofit #change #empower #policebrutality #blacklivesmatter Featured song: Find My Way feat. Lady Taij
