In this emotional and deeply moving episode of Shades of Justice, host Dr. Evelyn Hill welcomes Stacy Young, a mother and advocate, to share her powerful story about losing her son, Jordan Blake, to fentanyl poisoning and the devastating lack of justice that followed. Through personal reflections and candid storytelling, Stacy discusses the racial disparities in how law enforcement and media respond to fentanyl-related deaths in Black communities, highlighting a justice system that too often looks away.
Dr. Hill and Stacy explore themes of motherhood, systemic racism, addiction, and perseverance, as well as the painful disparities in the criminal justice system when it comes to investigating the deaths of young Black men. This episode calls for law enforcement, legal advocates, and listeners everywhere to push for change, equity, and true justice.
