In this powerful episode of A Black Executive Perspective, hosts Tony Tidbit and Chris P. Reed sit down with Terrica Redfield Ganzy, Executive Director of the Southern Center for Human Rights, to unpack the deep intersections of race, justice, and public health.

From her roots in Mississippi to her decades-long fight against systemic injustice, Terrica shares a candid look at how mass incarceration functions as a public health crisis—one that devastates families, communities, and entire generations.

The conversation dives into her journey defending death penalty cases, confronting the dehumanizing realities of the criminal legal system, and the urgent need to replace punishment with empathy, accountability, and reform.

This episode challenges us to rethink justice not as retribution, but as restoration—and to see incarceration not just as a legal issue, but as one that impacts the health and humanity of us all.
