Etienne Maurice: Walking Good, Healing Together, and Leading with Love | S4E3

Liz sits down with her “nephew” Etienne Maurice — actor, filmmaker, and founder of the nonprofit Walk Good — for a deeply personal conversation about service, survival, and community. Etienne traces his instinct to serve back to his grandparents, his mother, his father, and his stepfather, shares how the killings of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, and Breonna Taylor led him to gather more than 400 people in a Mid-City park and launch Walk Good, and why he believes healing has been sold to communities of color as a luxury instead of a birthright. He opens up about surviving gun violence 14 years ago, the grief and substance use that came before it, and the sobriety and purpose that came after. Plus: meeting his wife Stephanie, his rapid-fire favorites, and why he defines joy as living without shame.
