3. Derrick Billups: Change is inevitable and enthusiasm is his middle name!
Update: 2020-06-01
Description
Derrick and Murn chat about the always present ups and downs of life and how he stays grounded with enthusiasm knowing that life is happening for him, not to him. Derrick’s life started as an African American young man in a predominately white suburban town and now he’s the CEO of his own company. This interview didn’t start out about race. Here at Inner Mission, we believe all are whole and complete and equal. It was intended to be about his accomplishments and enthusiasm for life. At the same time, recent events and the loss of precious lives of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and too many others have shined a light on the oppression and hurt that have been here for centuries. Hearing the stories and having the conversations are ways we can start to heal and shine a light on our own biases and privilege. Derrick’s energy is infectious and his laugh feels like hope. 🖤 Thanks for listening!
