He discusses the importance of mentorship, the wisdom he's gained from overcoming adversity, and how his faith has been his guiding light through some of the darkest moments of his life. This episode is packed with valuable insights on leadership, growth, and the power of community support.

In addition to his personal story, Shawn dives into the creation of Triune Alert, an innovative app designed to bridge critical communication gaps during emergencies, including encounters with law enforcement.

Recognizing the unique challenges faced by Black individuals, especially during high-pressure situations with police, Triune Alert provides a much-needed tool for keeping families connected and safe. By quickly notifying loved ones and legal contacts, the app ensures that individuals have immediate support, particularly in sensitive or potentially dangerous interactions.

TW: This episode discusses suicide and grief.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with my dear friend, Debra Blaylock, who courageously shares her journey of grief and resilience following her husband's suicide, which took place just before the COVID-19 lockdown. The timing added layers of isolation and loneliness to her already immense sorrow, complicating the healing process. This episode aims to explore the immediate and prolonged aftermath of such a tragic loss and to share, in Debra’s words, how “the pain never leaves; it’s transferred down to the family.” Debra talks about the invisible nature of pain—how it can quietly consume loved ones and leave a permanent impact on those left behind. She reflects, “You have to realize you are not a person; you are just involved,” encapsulating how grief reshapes one’s identity. Debra stresses the importance of recognizing the signs of distress, having open conversations about mental health, and seeking support when needed. Her story is a poignant reminder that although the pain may be overwhelming, there is always hope, and no one is ever truly alone. She leaves listeners with the crucial message: “There is always hope, and you are never truly alone.” This conversation sheds light on the silent struggles many face and offers hope and guidance for anyone navigating a similar path. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out. Together, we can break the silence around mental health and be a source of light and support for one another.
