Black lives matter.When you hear that, what does that spark in you?It's what i ask Fortune 500 company GM's global communications / multicultural specialist--Lester Booker, Jr., MSA. We worked together with the Detroit Pistons in Community Relations and is my close friend-was one of the groomsmen in my wedding-my brother in Christ. We talked about this topic and so much more--from his experiences dealing with racism, what he's learned through quarantine, his thoughts on the pandemic, how believers can make an impact during this unprecedented time outside the four walls of a church in the world with COVID-19 along with the social justice unrest--and why difficult conversations can spark real change--that this needs to be more than just a trending topic but how we can enact tangible action to better listen to all races and backgrounds in bringing real equality...and even--yes--my "Are you 4 Real?!" segment where we debate on the best fast food restaurant of all time, if he had a super power what would it be, his favorite memory which includes proving doubters wrong and walking across that stage to get a master's degree. For all this and so much more--sit back, relax, and just listen as we KEEP IT REAL--choppn' it up like we normally would without a mic in front of us--yes, you're getting the conversation--authentically.🎙🎧💯🇺🇸🌍black lives matter.this phrase has taken the forefront of our national dialogue. it's more than a phrase, it's a movement that has sparked conversation as people are upset with social and race issues that have been deep-seeded. there's been debate about it being a political issue, so i had to take a deep dive into what's actually going on and ask a trusted friend who gives his perspective on the matter...it's what we do--having difficult discussions while keeping it all ....authentically.LBJ: "my life matters. I'm a black man, my life matters...the life I live is significant, it makes a difference, it impacts people...if everyone comes together and has the right mindset..we'll definitely progress and the world's issues right now are really making people have hard conversations that they never want to have but are forced to have because of what's going on in the world today everyone has to have these conversations...black lives matter, at the end of the day...African Americans, people of color, minorities, to your point, they matter... 2044 are going to be the majority...people...like it or not it , the minoritywill be the majority, it's trending that way""these conversations have happened and happened ...now the action has to happen""I hope that pastors, bishops all over understand the importance of building disciples and the importance of the work that's done outside the four walls of the church because...there is no church building right now...there's still more people praying now than they've ever prayed before in their life..people are believing, people are having transparent conversations with people to have understanding of who God is and what He is...even in trying times people are still putting (their) faith in God" --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/authenticallywithcharlie/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/authenticallywithcharlie/support
