Luke Ryan is not just my Amherst College roommate from the early 90’s, but also the guy responsible for overturning 15,000 criminal convictions featured on this docuseries!
During the episode, we get our hands dirty in several conversations including…

→ With racial injustice, silence is not neutral & how to identify and move past "white fragility."
→ The gift of clarity that sobriety gives.
→ The corruption of the justice system & how Luke prevailed in the face of the Attorney General's misconduct.
→ And more!
This conversation is full of gems & really helpful perspectives to consider as we're confronting racial and social injustice on a mass scale in our country.
