In our debut episode of Tell Us The Truth, let's reflect on the fact police murder victims such as Breonna Taylor, Rayshard Brooks and George Floyd are not just people who you've watched get murdered and read about in the newspaper, they are real people who have a lasting impact on all of us. We explore their impact through two perspectives.

First, we have retired United States Army officer Keith Atkins who reflects on the life and tragic death of his cousin, Atlanta PD murder victim Rayshard Brooks. How has this tragedy affected the loved ones of Rayshard Brooks and what role can police reform play in ensuring murders like this do not happen again?

Then, we hear from Boston City Councilor Michelle Wu who details how the tragic murder of George Floyd has impacted how she addresses systemic racism, not only as an elected official, but also as a mother.

We end with a call to action for everyone listening to take what's been discussed and share it within your personal social circles. What are solutions that we can collectively put together? Can we get closer to the equality America stands for and, if so, what's it going to take?
