How long could you go without a shower? For people experiencing homelessness in Oklahoma, the answer isn’t days – it’s months. Sometimes over a year.
In this episode, you’ll meet Evan Dougoud, founder of the Be Heard Movement – the only mobile drop-in center in Oklahoma. He shares what it means to see and honor the humanity in everyone around us.
Be Heard started with a camera and Evan’s desire to tell the stories of Tulsa’s homeless youth. It has become a story of empathetic ingenuity at its finest.
In this episode you’ll hear:
✅ What inspired Evan to create Be Heard after leaving college basketball
✅ Why hygiene access is a human dignity issue, not just a social services issue
✅ How Be Heard brings showers, laundry, haircuts & case management on wheels to underserved communities
✅ The world’s first virtual volunteer vending machine (launching June 2026!)
✅ How you can help from anywhere for as little as $2/month
✅ What it really looks like to see and honor your neighbors
