My guest today is CJ Nord, who has been an expert in logistics and supply chain for decades. CJ also runs an organization called Supply Chains for Good, which we will get into in our conversation.
CJ lives and works in southern California, but her heritage is Lakota, and she is an enrolled member of the Standing Rock Sioux.
As if her day job and non-profit work were not enough, CJ has also been working to end the use – in training law enforcement – of a lifesize shooting target that resembles a Black man.
After learning about this horror from Oakland artist and activist Tracy Brown, CJ could not sit idly by, so get ready for a fascinating conversation about race, law enforcement, and training in the use of lethal force.
