Aswad Thomas on Forgiveness, Healing & Safer Communities

Aswad survived a career‑ending shooting while pursuing pro‑basketball overseas. Instead of revenge, he chose forgiveness – then dedicated his life to helping other survivors heal and be heard. His story tests what we think we know about justice, resilience, and public safety.
