Ep. 070 - The Advocate: Chris Singleton

06/12/18 • 28 min

A Tribe Called Yes™ with Daron K. Roberts

A day after his mother was killed in the Mother Emanuel AME Church shooting in 2015, Chris Singleton spoke to the press and memorably said, “Love is always stronger than hate.” In the three years since, Singleton has been busy, taking that message of love, empathy, and forgiveness on the road, not to mention playing professional baseball for the Chicago Cubs Minor League affiliate. In this live recording of the podcast, Singleton shares his story, and even inspires the audience to stand up, give hugs, and say “I love you.”
