Breath of Fresh Air

It gets tiring waking up every day to chaos & the weight of our responsibilities. Our society creates the notion that we have to keep pushing, even when we’re drained. To keep satisfying others even when our cups are empty. When do we get to rest? When do we get to stop and reflect? When do we get to enjoy the fruits of our labor and take a breath of fresh air? My friends and I got tired of asking that question and made it a daily part of our lives to take time for ourselves. We hope the joyful & liberating experiences we present help you to do the same.

Nat’s life could have ended that day, but instead, the ordeal reinforced his plans to become a police officer. His belief in a better world could have faded to cynicism, but instead, it took root in his spirit. His desire to overcome the poverty and racism of his youth could have given in to shame, but instead, Nat resolved to dedicate his life to honoring the dignity of all people.

Nat Glover went on to serve in law enforcement for thirty-seven years, became the first Black sheriff in Jacksonville, Florida, and the first Black sheriff in the state of Florida in over a hundred years post-Reconstruction, and chose—again and again—to do the right thing at the right time for the sake of justice, compassion, and truth.

In Striving for Justice, Nat recounts his history-making years in police reform, the values that fuel him as a leader and American citizen, and what he believes will move this country forward toward hope and healing just as he once rose again…against all odds.
