We Are, Because They Were: Honoring Those of Our Past and Acknowledging the People of Our Present

The Seeds You Sow

We're switching the format for Black History month! We are honoring historical African American people, films, shows, or movements of our past and putting them in conversation with people who are doing similar work today. We believe it is important to acknowledge the predecessors who planted the first seeds of hope for our people and it is also important to acknowledge those who are still plowing away in the garden and brining forth that harvest for all of us to enjoy and be inspired by! This week we honored the following: Because of Julie Dash, we have Ava DuVernay. Because of Tupac Shakur, we have Kendrick Lamar Because of Barbara Christian, we have Ula Taylor We could take the time to TELL you who these people are but instead we would encourage you LISTEN to the episode instead. The stories and highlights of these phenomenal black figures in our society are definitely worth sharing. We also played a couple of rounds of the hilarious game Black Card Revoked, highlighted some great books, and overall had a good time. Tune in for some history, fun, and a great show! =D
