Episode description

On November 5, 2019, Jordan Taylor was killed in a horrific act of gun violence in Baltimore.

My friend Julie Taylor shares her story of the unimaginable loss of her son and the piece she couldn't let go of- did Jordan know the difference his life made in this world?

As she searched for ways to keep his memory alive, Jordan's legacy as a change-maker emerged, stories from the community flowed and hope was renewed. I love this family dearly and have learned so much from Julie's generous willingness to share. This conversation is about grief but also about legacy, and what we leave behind that lasts.
