Wounds to Medicine: a live conversation with Leon Ford
Can hope still lead us, when everything around us teaches fear?
In a time when outrage feels easier than grace, Leon Ford embodies a different path. Shot five times by police and left paralyzed at nineteen, Leon chose not vengeance but transformation, turning his recovery into a redefinition of healing and leadership.
In this live conversation, we’ll go beyond his acclaimed memoir An Unspeakable Hope to explore how he continues to live that choice today — turning pain into wisdom, wounds into medicine, and leadership into an act of deep humanity.
This conversation will be a live recorded episode of Ripple, a podcast hosted by Margherita (Meg) Pagani.
