    This was amazing. That "I'm offended" absolutely murdered me 😂 I'm with you.

    Jesse! Ugh this interview snippet just makes me even more excited about the full episode.
    One of the things that really challenged me when reading Just Mercy was how Bryan Stevenson never lets it be just one or two stories about a handful of cases that happened to someone else somewhere else. Instead he steadily points to the system that enables and encourages these outcomes.
    Plus how he connects back to grace and mercy.
    Anyway, I'm so glad you were chosen to be part of this.

    Jesse, words cannot express how obscenely wonderful you are. Yes, you look fab in this, that tie and chain combo was IT, but look at how professional you are. Look at how poised you are. Look at how you warm and fill that shared space and how you exude this calm admiration for Brian. THIS is a sign that you are going to be doing SO MUCH MORE. I say all of this because I know you want to seen as more than your commentary of race relations. Your value goes beyond that and THISSSSS shows that. Ugh! I'm in awe.
