S2: l'm Not Willing To Die Tonight - When They See Us With Brittany Lee

Our guest for this episode, Brittany Lee, chose to talk about the Netflix series "When They See Us" and some encounters she has had with law enforcement, including some Black teenagers she is helping mentor. Ava DuVernay's series gives us a lot to chew on as we share stories to try to wrestle with the issues involved. Brittany and Eli also discuss meeting Yusef Salaam, one of the original Exonerated Five, and the inspiration of his story. You can listen to a conversation with Yusef here, that Eli and Jeremy helped produce for the Black Like Me Podcast.

Brittany works in criminal justice reform and mentors young men with Trained To Grow Inc.
