This week, Tennessee State Rep. Justin J. Pearson joins me on At Our Table to talk about the experiences that shaped him, from organizing for better resources at his Memphis high school to taking on powerful interests as a state legislator. We have a candid discussion about his expulsion from the Tennessee House, how to find common ground without compromising your values, and why he still believes ordinary people can change institutions that often fail them. His story is a reminder that being overlooked is not the same as being powerless. You do not need money, a title, or permission from the people in charge to make a difference. Change begins when people recognize what they can accomplish together and refuse to accept that the way things are is the way they have to stay.
