## Resource

Welcome back to What I Know Now , the podcast by The Delta Project where we dive deep into the realities of life inside—and after—the juvenile justice system. In this episode, hosts Bilal and Cole Williams sit down with Gayle Harvey: advocate, entrepreneur, Vice President of the Greater Grand Rapids NAACP, and founder of the Harvey Lynn Group. Gayle shares her journey growing up in West Michigan and how her passion for community, justice, and healing took root. She opens up about the importance of building trust between communities and public safety, the complexities of generational trauma, and the need for honest conversations to move forward. Gayle also discusses her hands-on work in community-informed police training, youth engagement, and why “facing the hurt” is critical for healing and long-lasting change. Whether you’re stepping into grassroots advocacy for the first time, looking for inspiration to mend divides, or just want to hear powerful stories about resilience and rebuilding community homes, this episode offers deeply personal and actionable wisdom. Join us for an honest, heartfelt conversation about trust, healing, and what it takes to create safer, more connected communities for the next generation.
