Welcome to Intention, this is Byron DeLear. This episode has a little of everything, Ken Cox of the business podcast Clicks and Bricks interviewed me with a focus on THE holiday for American freedom, Juneteenth. We also talk about our experiences in the music industry, clean energy programs, and the need to advance equity and inclusion to strengthen the American family. So, join Ken and me as we explore the power of intention - Let's get started!

Welcome to Intention this is Byron DeLear.

I'm very excited today to bring you a very special voice – a special episode of Intention. Now, for my listeners and viewers, I know there’s been quite a bit of time between episodes, this is because of other commitments. So, I just want you to know I appreciate your loyalty and patience – I’d like to think it’s about quality, not quantity.

Well, you’re in for a treat with this one. Last February, I helped organize and was honored to speak at the St. Louis City NAACP’s Civil Rights Conference; and now, in partnership with the NAACP, we bring you a poignant and moving talk by one of the nation’s finest legal minds, Debo Adegbile.

But this speech is not lawyerly, no — this presentation is an emotional tour-de-force through the history of American Civil Rights, and if you’re listening to the audio-only podcast, please take the time to pull up our YouTube Channel and see the short film that accompanies the talk.

You’ll also hear from my dear friend Adolphus Pruitt, President of the St. Louis City NAACP, sharing the impactful and momentous history of the St. Louis Chapter of our nation’s largest and most widely recognized civil rights organization.

This episode was a labor of love and I hope you enjoy this as much as I did in pulling it together.

The war for freedom rages on.

Russia’s despicable invasion of Ukraine has become the largest land war in Europe since the ravages of World War II destroyed the continent, 77 years ago.

The world has united in support of Ukraine – pouring in weapons, and other materiel, and imposing unprecedented economic punishment for the Russian banking system, oligarchs, and has begun to isolate the country. 

More needs to be done.

Fears of nuclear conflict between NATO and Russia have driven the West’s decision not to engage directly with Russian forces. The theory is, a no-fly zone would thrust NATO aircraft and military defense systems into directly destroying Russian military assets — an escalation which could lead to the hot war spilling out over the European continent, like 77 years ago.
 
World War III.
 
Today, we speak with Igor Novikov, a former advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
 
Igor and his wife have courageously made the decision to stay in Kyiv with their two daughters, they’ve decided to take a stand, to stay in their home.
 
He has called this war, the first “Social Media” war and also the first “three-dimensional war” — being fought on three interacting fronts — economically, militarily, and through information technology.

Igor says there will be lessons learned from this war, and that his intention is to consolidate and help spur the changes needed — a defiant Ukraine against Russian aggression has united the world in knowing now that democracy and freedom cannot be allowed to slumber, or it will be gone.
