Doing something to help isn’t complicated—it starts with a decision.
In this episode of Empire Talks Back, Wallace Allen keeps it real: “Pick up that trash.” A simple act, but a reminder that responsibility for our communities starts with each of us. Wallace is joined by Brenda Sutton, a mother who turned personal pain into purpose. After her daughters experienced domestic violence, Brenda chose action—creating and distributing gift purses to women living in domestic violence shelters. Now marking five years of this mission, she shares what it means to show up for others, how small gestures can restore dignity, and why consistency matters more than recognition.
This episode is about accountability, compassion, and the power of doing something—right where you are.
🎙 Empire Talks Back continues to spotlight voices and actions that strengthen our communities from the inside out.
