Stand Your Ground - Fear, Race, and the Cost of Justice
from Uzo Speaks · host Sarah Osondu
This episode explores how America’s self-defense laws fail Black communities. Through the lens of Netflix’s The Perfect Neighbor and the story of Ajike Owens, I blend emotion and investigation to expose how the “Stand Your Ground” law protects fear — not fairness. I also reflect on the tragedy of Trayvon Martin, and I confront racial bias, legal hypocrisy, and the human cost of injustice — while raising awareness of those whose lives were taken by it.
