Tony Hoffman on Black Lives Matter: Bridging Gaps and Building Trust
“This relationship does not change until we come together and one side is willing to admit, regardless of whether they put the system in place, that they were still a part of the system ignorantly and that they will do better moving forward.”

Drawing from his own journey of overcoming addiction, homelessness, and prison, Tony offers a unique perspective on these pressing issues. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the backgrounds and histories of individuals to truly grasp their behaviors and experiences.
Tony urges listeners to ask questions, empathize with those from different communities, and build trust in relationships, whether between spouses or across racial lines. He stresses the need for self-awareness and taking responsibility, even if unknowingly part of a flawed system. Tony’s message is clear: to create a better future, we must come together, admit our faults, and commit to doing better.
