Racism, Love, and Acceptance: Desmond and Alison Lomax's Journey
Our country will be great when everyone works so hard that they're paying the taxes I'm paying right now.
What happens when love and resilience meet tragedy? Desmond and Alison Lomax know this all too well. In this heartfelt episode of the Finding Strength Podcast, hosts Matt Quackenbush, Brindy Quackenbush, and Bethany Tenney sit down with the Lomaxes to discuss their powerful story. Desi, a dedicated police officer and therapist, and Alison, his steadfast partner, are on a mission to spread love and acceptance in honor of their son Mateen.
Mateen tragically took his own life after enduring relentless bullying due to his skin color. This episode dives into deep and meaningful topics like racism, equality, police culture, and social justice. Through their movement, IlluminaTEEN Unity, Desmond and Alison aim to create a world where love triumphs over hate. They challenge us to reflect on our own biases and strive for a better, more inclusive society.
