***Warning*** Heavy subject matter 
Hey everyone, long time no see.  Be warned that this is a heavier episode, I give my response to the recent tragedies that occurred in early September 2022: The kidnapping and murder of Eliza Fletcher and the shooting spree that happened in Memphis and North Mississippi on September 7th, 2022.

I also talk about the importance of Alicia Franklin, a young Black woman who was sexually assaulted by the same suspect who kidnaped and killed Fletcher. These horrible and heartbreaking events shook up the city. I pray for the families and individuals affected by these tragic events.

The main takeaway of the episode is to not give up on the city of Memphis despite these things happening. Memphians are tired but continue to bring value to this complicated and unique city.


In this episode I talk about the following:

• Case of Eliza Fletcher
• Case of Alicia Franklin
• Runner’s Tribute Eliza’s Run “Finish Eliza’s Run"
• Memphis shooting spree
• Responses by Memphians on Twitter
• Briefly addressing Memphis’ crime problem
• How can we make Memphis safer? How could we positively impact the city? Issues with our judicial system?
