We’ve talked a lot about gun violence on Burn the Boats, and how many politicians have ignored common sense solutions. Lax firearm regulations have made guns more accessible than ever, and as a result, communities are suffering. Thankfully, grassroots leaders are taking a stand.
Today I wanted to share an episode of Living For We: Keep Ya Head Up. The show highlights how these people are taking matters into their own hands in order to make their streets safer. Guests include organizers, therapists, formerly incarcerated, and everyday people living in these communities who want to reduce gun violence, and tackle the systemic issues that play into it.
This first episode features a conversation with two young men that led a life of crime, but are now trying to leave that all behind them. Please enjoy this episode of Living For We: Keep Ya Head Up.
Find Living For We: Keep Ya Head Up wherever you find podcasts. You can find the video version of the show on Spotify and on YouTube.

The title for this podcast, Burn The Boats, is inspired by an order given by Alexander the Great to his Navy in 332 BC. Upon landing his forces on the shores of Persia, he told his commanders to “Burn the boats.” The message was clear. Alexander’s Army would either win by advancing, or die on the beaches. There would be no turning back.
America today is at a crossroads. What will define us, in the crises we currently face and for generations to come, are the choices we make when failure is not an option.
