The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: Rebuilding Lives: Overcoming Stigma, Addiction, and Cultural Perspectives - The One with Stephen Buckley

This week, we are excited to share the inspiring journey of Stephen A. Buckley, whose path from Dallas, Texas, to Northwestern University and beyond is driven by a profound faith and commitment to making a difference. Growing up in a football-centric environment, Stephen balanced his athletic prowess with a deep-rooted Christian faith. Excelling both academically and athletically, he earned a scholarship to Northwestern University, where he studied Learning and Organizational Change. After graduation, Stephen embarked on a diverse career journey driven by a passion for assisting others while ensuring financial stability. His path led him through roles in home healthcare sales and pharmaceutical sales before he discovered his calling at Edovo. At Edovo, Stephen dedicated himself to providing educational resources to incarcerated individuals across America, aiming to reduce recidivism and restore dignity to marginalized communities.

Stephen's commitment to prison ministry is deeply personal, rooted in his own experiences and steadfast belief in redemption. His multicultural marriage to his Nigerian wife, Dr. Jessica Puri, has enriched his understanding of family and cultural harmony and profoundly influenced his perspective on life and community. During our conversation, we explored the complex landscape of mental health, particularly as it affects Black men in America. We also talked about his journey of finding purpose beyond traditional career paths, discussing how his faith anchors his pursuit of social justice and community impact.

Tune in to hear Stephen's story of faith, resilience, and social justice, including his entrepreneurial ventures with DBE Logistics. Through DBE Logistics, Stephen integrates his faith into business, aiming to create enduring impact and opportunities for underserved populations.
