Be Smooth
Emily Borg
Be Smooth, Inc. is a grassroots organization in Stockton, California, created by Lecia Harrison to honor the memory of her son Brandon, and to carry on his life’s work in disrupting the school-to-prison pipeline, while envisioning and building the community he wanted his sons to grow up in. The organization, and this podcast, are named Be Smooth because “‘Be smooth’ is what Brandon would say when ending phone calls or interactions. What it meant to him was… be safe, be calm, and make good decisions” (besmooth.org).
