This week we talk about turning the loss of a parent into inspiration with Ericka Lassiter, wife of former Arizona Cardinal Kwamie Lassiter.

Kwamie Lassiter passed away in 2019. Three of Kwamie and Ericka’s sons, Kwamie II, Darius and Kwinton, have played college football or in the NFL. Kwamie II plays for the Cincinnati Bengals, having played college football at his father's alma mater Kansas.

Ericka shares how their family endured through terrible loss to create a brighter future for everyone.
