The Brave Space Podcast
Brave Space is a healing place for gun violence prevention professionals and survivors. We meet together with people who are willing to share their challenging life experiences on a public platform and describe their process for achieving personal transformation. In doing so, we are helping to reframe the harmful narratives about community violence and those involved.
The purpose of The Brave Space Podcast is for us to heal in community. By sharing our lived experiences, we give voice to those who are most impacted by community violence and in need of healing and restoration.

Dr. Jordan Murphy sits down with Erica Atwood, The Deputy of Engagement for Cities United, and Ricky “Dip” Usher, CEO of Wii Care Atlanta to talk about the financial investment from the Coalition to Advance Public Safety (CAPS) in Atlanta-based Community Violence Intervention (CVI) organizations. The investment will strengthen local efforts to reduce community violence by 15% and expand support for those most impacted by gun violence.
The CAPS initiative, led by four national Black-led technical assistance providers, is committed to scaling proven, community-driven strategies to address gun violence by supporting cities in building sustainable, long-term, safety solutions. The five Atlanta-based organizations who are recipients of the financial investment and technical assistance are Girassol Wellness, Wii Care, Atlanta Victim Assistance, H.O.P.E Hustlers, and Circle of Safety.
