S1E123 - Kim Keblish, Pastor Derrick Anderson and Toney Armstrong; and Keith Leachman

Real Talk Memphis with Chip Washington

Episode Notes

My guests include Kim Keblish from FEMA and Liliana Tschanett from the US Small Business Administration (SBA). The tornados that roared through West TN and many other areas in March caused an incredible amount of damage as well as displacing so many families. They join me to tell us how you still have time to file for these economic disaster loans in order to rebuild your life. Next, there is one word we can all relate to these days, security. Many places we find sacred are now targets like places of worship which is why Brown Baptist Church is sponsoring a special event called Protecting the Flock, church safety and security seminar. Brown Executive pastor Derrick Anderson and St. Jude Director of Security Toney Armstrong tell us what to expect and why it’s so important. Our streets are becoming war zones and crime is continually on the rise. Keith Leachman is a community activist who knows the streets of Orange Mound from his own prior experience. Now, his life’s work is to find a solution to stop the killings. He explains his foundation wants to stop the beef and how his ‘memory wall’ just might help. It’s a powerful new episode on air and online Monday, 6-7 pm, WYXR 91.7 FM. Also on the WYXR app, Tunein, Facebook Live, YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts.It’s time to talk!
