Finding the Courage to SPEAK UP with Actor, Advocate and CHANGEmaker Michelle Hurd - a podcast by Off The Gram

How does change happen? So many of us know change is required, but don’t quite know the right steps to make it happen. Some make the fatal error of staying quiet in the hopes of not harming anyone: afraid to say or do the wrong thing. Sometimes, we think we are the only person who feels things are wrong, since some things (like sexual harassment and racism) have been grotesquely normalized and accepted as “just a part of life”.

Thankfully, with the courage of the amazing humans who spoke up and continue to speak up as part of the “Me Too” movement, and all of the inspiring souls bringing Black Lives Matter to the surface (and capturing horrific moments on camera), we as a society have finally started uncovering - and have just begun to take steps to remedy - a plethora of wrongs that have gone unrecognized for decades and centuries. So… how do we go from WANTING to speak up and righting wrongs to actually enacting CHANGE?

Here today, we are SO excited to have award winning actress, advocate, and changemaker, Michelle Hurd, here with us to discuss finding the courage to SPEAK UP and MAKE CHANGE.
