In this powerful and deeply human episode of The Art of Rebounding, host Harold “Lefty” Williams sits down with actor, activist, and wellness leader Etienne Maurice, founder of WalkGood LA. Etienne opens up about navigating Hollywood as the son of Emmy-winning icon Sheryl Lee Ralph, overcoming substance abuse at a young age, healing generational trauma, and stepping into his purpose through community activism and creative wellness. From his upcoming HBO Max Christmas film “Fake Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” (starring Etienne & Kiki Lane), to building a movement that brings mindfulness, yoga, protest, and creativity together for Black and Brown communities, Etienne brings honesty, heart, and hard-earned wisdom. This conversation dives into: Growing up in Black Hollywood & finding his own identity The moment he witnessed his mother fight for the role on Ray Donovan — and what it taught him How WalkGood LA formed after the murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor Building a safe space for healing, breathwork, and emotional rest His 12-year sobriety journey and how vulnerability became his superpower Why consistency is the currency of credibility Rewriting your story through purpose, intuition, and community Creating legacy through family collaboration And the emotional night his mother won her Emmy This episode is inspiring, restorative, and overflowing with purpose — a reminder that pain can transform into impact, and your path can lead you exactly where you’re meant to be.
