In this episode, Isabel Franke explores the tragic death of Demartravion “Trey” Reed, a 21-year-old Delta State University student found hanging on campus in September 2025. While officials have said there is no evidence of foul play, Trey’s family and community are raising serious questions.
This conversation goes beyond the headlines to unpack the historical weight of lynching, the symbolism of hangings in Black and BIPOC communities, and the ancestral trauma carried in our DNA, as explained in My Grandmother’s Hands by Resmaa Menakem. Isabel dives into how systems of power use fear and separation to control, why unity across BIPOC communities is essential, and how spiritual grounding can transform inherited wounds into collective healing.
