Where do poetry and democracy intersect?In part two of our conversation with Dayton poet laureate, educator, activist, culture keeper, and Kettering Foundation Democracy and the Arts resident artist Sierra Leone, we follow the threads of memory and imagination from a gallery of story quilts in Hamilton, Ohio, to the Legacy Sites of the Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery, Alabama.Along the way, Sierra reads American Libation III: Weaving an Amendment for Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, her response to Carolyn Crump's quilt Lovely One. She takes us inside The Belonging Project, where the stories of more than 100 Dayton residents are being harvested and turned into theater. And she shares a new poem born of a week with fellow Democracy Defenders led by Kimberlé Crenshaw in partnership with, a poem about how ideas persist and how thorns of memory grow from the womb of subjugation.If you've ever wondered what poetry has to do with the work of self-government, or how a life of civic leadership actually begins, this one's for you.In this episode we explore:Poetry asks. Democracy asks too. A poem doesn't go looking for answers. It leaves something behind for others to grapple with, and each generation has to decide what democracy will be.The petals that fall to the ground. Every society chooses which stories rise to the surface. Poets pick up the parts that fall and put some wind under them.Belonging becomes theater.

Dr. Paul W. Wallace is a dermatologist in Los Angeles, California and is affiliated with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. He received his medical degree from University of Oklahoma College of Medicine and has been in practice for more than 20 years. He has expertise in treating psoriasis, among other conditions, such as, plastic surgery, and reconstructive surgery, he is a trusted specialist for patients seeking natural, transformative enhancements. Dr. Wallace says Black Folks needs more collagen. Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the body, playing a vital role in providing support to tissues and aiding in cellular processes. Collagen production declines with age and can be further compromised by lifestyle factors such as smoking, excessive drinking, a diet high in sugar, and overexposure to the sun. However, a balanced diet and healthy habits can help slow this process. https://www.instagram.com/drwallaceofbeverlyhills/ https://www.wallaceskinandbodyinstitute.com/ https://www.instagram.com/honeyqween_juicebar/

Hello. J'espère que vous allez bien malgré les températures incendiaires qu'on connaît en ce moment. Hydratez-vous, prenez soin de vos proches.Cet épisode suit un fil conducteur, donc je ne vous conseille pas de sauter d'une partie à une autre, même si je sais que le temps manque. Il n'est pas très long, mais je pense qu'il vaut la peine d'être écouté ou lu en entier.Ce que j'ai compris de ma fatigue (à partir de 01:13)Je me suis rendu compte que j'étais déjà épuisée, d'une certaine manière, alors que mon livre n'est pas encore sorti. Ce n'est pas une fatigue ordinaire, pas le genre « j'ai trop bossé ce trimestre ». C'est plus profond, plus installé. J'ai essayé de comprendre si ce que je vivais avait un nom.Le premier : la racial battle fatigue, théorisée par William A. Smith. Un épuisement psychologique et physiologique qui vient du fait d'exister dans un monde qui agresse en continu, de manière subtile, institutionnelle, au quotidien. Pas une violence spectaculaire, mais l'accumulation. La vigilance permanente. Le fait de devoir sans cesse évaluer ce qui vient de se passer, se demander si c'est raciste, si ça vaut la peine d'en parler, si on va être cru. Ce switch constant entre soi et le regard que le monde pose sur soi.Le deuxième : le burn-out militant, documenté par Gorski et Chen. L'idée que dans le militantisme, on mesure l'engagement à l'aune du travail émotionnel fourni. Et que si on s'effondre, si on dit qu'on est à bout, on est regardé·e bizarrement, parce que le militantisme est censé être désintéressé. On n'a pas trop le droit d'être épuisée quand le sujet est important. Et c'est exactement le piège.Moi, je publie un roman sur des thématiques qui me tiennent à cœur. Je parle de représentation sur Instagram. Et en même temps, j'ai un emploi salarié où je range une partie de moi dans un tiroir en arrivant le matin, parce que les deux mondes ne peuvent pas coexister. Ce phénomène a aussi un nom : le code switching, documenté chez les personnes racisées, les personnes LGBTQIA+, les personnes en situation de handicap. Le fait de devoir adapter, moduler, modifier son langage, son comportement, parfois jusqu'à sa personnalité, selon l'espace où on se trouve pour ne pas subir de conséquences.Dans mon cas concret : dans ma vie d'autrice, j'écris en écriture inclusive aussi souvent que je le peux. Ce n'est pas une posture, c'est une conviction. La neutralité au masculin n'a jamais existé. Point. Mais dans un mail professionnel, dans un contexte institutionnel, c'est impossible. Pas parce que mon employeur s'y opposerait forcément, mais parce que j'écris à des clients à qui je vends une solution, qui n'ont rien demandé, et faire ce choix serait prendre position. Donc je fais autrement. Et mon militantisme reste dans le tiroir.C'est Arlie Hochschild qui avait théorisé cette fatigue cognitive et émotionnelle liée au fait de devoir adapter en permanence son expression à un contexte qui ne correspond pas. Et quand ce switch touche des pratiques militantes, il y a une dissonance supplémentaire entre ce qu'on défend publiquement et ce qu'on fait concrètement dans d'autres espaces de sa vie. Cette dissonance, il faut la gérer. Et elle épuise aussi.L'image qui m'est revenue, c'est Clark Kent au bureau et Superman dans ma vie d'autrice. Sauf que Clark reste une figure de pouvoir et de privilège, et ce que je vis, c'est du concret, c'est politique. C'est encore une forme de double conscience, parce que je me vois à travers le regard d'une société qui ne me reconnaît pas comme étant entière, et je dois habiter deux entités pour tenter de les réconcilier. C'est ce que W.E.B. Du Bois théorisait dans The Souls of Black Folk. Rien de nouveau. Il y a quelque chose de rassurant à savoir que ça a déjà été nommé, contextualisé. Et quelque chose de profondément frustrant à réaliser que ça n'a pas changé, puisque certaines de ces théories remontent à 1903.La littérature académique couvre le code switching au travail, la racial battle fatigue, le burn-out militant. Mais elle ne couvre pas le cas de l'autrice racisée, engagée sur la représentation dans l'édition, qui doit en même temps naviguer ce code switch dans son emploi du temps réel. C'est mon quotidien. Et il n'y a pas encore de carte pour ça. Peut-être qu'un jour quelqu'un prendra le temps de le théoriser. Je me le garde en tête.Désenchantée, mais pas défaitiste (à partir de 09:47)Oui, je suis désenchantée avant même que mon livre sorte. Pas parce que je ne crois plus en ce que j'écris. Mais parce que je comprends de mieux en mieux dans quoi je mets les pieds, et qu'il n'y a pas encore de carte pour naviguer avec ça.Mais le désenchantement a une puissance particulière : il force à prendre conscience de la réalité, à chercher des alternatives, des outils pour continuer d'agir malgré tout.Et l'un de ces outils, c'est se rappeler de ce qui a été fait. Une amie autrice me l'a rappelé récemment. Elle m'a remis face à l'enjeu réel, au-delà du désenchantement systémique de l'édition. Elle m'a rappelé que j'ai réussi à faire sortir un livre qui ne parle ni de racisme ni d'esclavage, écrit par une personne noire française, dans ce contexte politique qu'on connaît. Un livre qui aborde des sujets qui touchent toutes les familles, en particulier les familles afrodescendantes et de la diaspora afro-caribéenne, mais pas seulement, et qui est contemporain dans ses thématiques. Ce n'est pas rien. Et c'est important que je me le rappelle.Elle m'a aussi rappelé que j'appartiens maintenant à quelque chose. J'ai rejoint cette littérature noire française, si petite, aussi fine qu'une peau de chagrin, mais qui existe. Et que c'est le début de quelque chose.Elle m'a dit aussi : aller au-delà de tout ce bruit, de ce désenchantement, des conditions politiques dans lesquelles ce livre va sortir, et mettre de la joie. Elle est d'ailleurs co-autrice d'un ouvrage sur la joie que j'ai acheté il y a deux mois et que je vais enfin prendre le temps de lire. Je vous en parlerai.Juin m'a rincée (à partir de 13:37)La reprise du CDI a été bien plus énergivore que je l'avais anticipé, même si tout se passe très bien et que j'en suis vraiment contente. Merci à toutes les personnes qui m'ont envoyé des messages de soutien, qui ont pris le temps de demander comment ça s'était passé. Ça me touche beaucoup. Et merci aussi pour tous les messages d'anniversaire, c'était le 21 juin. J'avais lancé un jeu concours ce jour-là, il s'est terminé hier pour celles et ceux qui sont sur la newsletter, vous aviez été notifié·es depuis le mois dernier.Malgré le désenchantement, malgré l'épuisement, tout ça participe à me permettre de continuer. Donc merci. Vraiment.Je ne suis pas Hercule. Je ne suis pas Clark Kent. Mais à mon échelle, je pense que je vais y arriver. Mener ces deux vies de front. Ça ne fait que trois semaines, c'est peu pour faire tous les ajustements nécessaires. Mais j'ai confiance.Comment ? En ralentissant. Encore. Toujours. On n'en finit jamais, en réalité.Le repos comme acte de résistance (à partir de 15:14)Lors du dernier book club de l'association Overbookées, on a reçu Isis Labeau Caberia, dont je vous ai déjà parlé. Elle a rappelé quelque chose d'essentiel : le repos est une arme de résistance.Tricia Hersey, fondatrice du Nap Ministry, avait théorisé ça en 2016. L'idée que nous ne nous reposons pas pour être productives, nous nous reposons simplement parce que c'est notre droit. Et elle va plus loin : le repos dans sa forme la plus simple devient un acte de résistance et une reconquête du pouvoir, parce qu'il affirme notre humanité la plus fondamentale.Isis l'a conclu ainsi : peut-être que le monde ira mieux lorsque les femmes noires auront enfin droit au repos.Si vous ne comprenez pas pourquoi cette phrase est importante, je vous renvoie à tout le contenu que je partage sur Instagram et sur ce podcast. Les femmes noires sont à la croisée de toutes les discriminations et de toutes les luttes. Et les femmes noires ne se reposent pas. Ça vient de l'époque de l'esclavage, a minima. Et ça se traduit dans toutes les strates de notre société aujourd'hui.Je vais donc partir en vacances une semaine après mon séminaire d'entreprise de trois jours, qui va sans doute aussi me mettre KO. Je vais me forcer à ralentir, laisser mon cerveau en jachère, juste prendre des notes quand des idées vont surgir parce que ce serait dommage de les laisser filer. Et je vais être cette autrice noire qui jongle entre deux vies dans un contexte politique qui se dégrade, dans une industrie qui ne nous facilite rien, et qui choisit quand même le repos. Pas comme une forme de passivité. Comme un acte nécessaire pour continuer.Le tapis MAHOLA, mon objet totem (à partir de 17:05)J'avais promis un update sur le tapis de yoga Mahola. Le voilà.Je l'aime vraiment. Sans doute parce qu'il est fait main, unique, avec une matière qui se sent sous les doigts. Et sans doute parce que je l'ai choisi pour ses valeurs, qui résonnent avec les miennes. La marque travaille avec du coton biologique tissé à la main dans une logique de réduction d'impact sur la biodiversité tout au long de la chaîne de production. Ils investissent dans des projets de reforestation et de restauration des habitats. Leurs engagements sociaux sont réels : conditions de travail équitables, soutien aux communautés locales avec un focus sur l'Inde notamment. Et la marque est co-créée par une personne d'origine indienne. Ce n'est pas du greenwashing de façade, c'est une démarche cohérente de la culture du coton jusqu'à l'atelier.Ce tapis va être mon objet totem pour me rappeler que le repos est un acte de résistance. Que prendre ce repos, mettre de la joie dans mon quotidien, aller sur ce tapis pour faire des étirements, méditer, visualiser, ou juste être là à ne rien faire, c'est aussi ma forme de militantisme. Et la manière dont je vais aller chercher l'énergie dont j'ai besoin pour tout ce qui arrive.Le repos n'est pas une faiblesse. C'est un outil.Si vous avez envie de tester, il y a en ce moment des soldes sur leur site et j'ai un code promo à votre disposition dans les notes de l'épisode : MAHUNAYOGA, moins 10% sur leur site. Code d'affiliation, donc je reçois aussi une commission sur les achats. Je ne vous oblige à rien, mais comme je vous l'ai dit il y a quelques mois, c'est important pour moi de parler de ce que je mets en place pour prendre soin de ma santé mentale et physique, en particulier en tant que femme noire racisée avec l'endométriose. Si parmi vous il y a d'autres femmes racisées qui jonglent entre plusieurs vies, j'espère que tout ça peut être un début de réflexion, selon votre budget, votre temps, vos envies.Nouvelles lectures et deux nouveaux projets (à partir de 21:08)J'ai ajouté de nouvelles lectures dans ma liste de recommandations d'autrices et auteurs racisé·es sur mon site. J'ai lu de nouveaux ouvrages en juin et je compte bien profiter de cette semaine de vacances pour lire comme jamais, essayer de redevenir cet enfant de 10 ans qui lisait 10 livres par semaine. En juillet il y aura beaucoup plus de recommandations que d'habitude, surveillez la liste.Et avant de terminer, une petite exclusivité : je vous ai déjà dit que j'avais signé un quatrième contrat d'édition. Je vous donne maintenant les noms de code de mes projets en cours.Projet Pichoun : un outil pour tous, qui aborde un sujet tabou.Projet Mangue : une romance au lycée. Une vraie romance.L'un des deux est déjà sous contrat. Je ne vous dis pas lequel. Et pour l'autre, je vous en dis plus bientôt.Bon mois de juillet. Prenez soin de vous, de vos proches, de votre santé mentale, émotionnelle et physique. Hydratez-vous. Et mettez du repos dans votre quotidien. C'est important.À très vite.MahunaPS : la newsletter est gratuite mais vous pouvez me soutenir à hauteur de vos envies iciSources : Tricia Hersey, Rest is Resistance : A Manifesto, Little, Brown Spark, 2022.

This lecture was delivered on May 18th 2026by Rev. Renaldo McKenzie at Jamaica Theological Seminary to students in the Caribbean Thought course. Today we explored the concept of Afrocentricity and developing an Afrocentric Paradigm to the study of the Caribbean or o Caribbean Thought. Towards the end we reviewed the Course Outline.Notes:_________________I. Why This Inquiry MattersBefore we define these concepts, we must recognize one important point:Perspective shapes thought.The way we are taught to see the world determines how we understand history, religion, race, culture, and even ourselves. Caribbean societies emerged out of colonization, slavery, displacement, and resistance. Therefore, many of the ideas we inherit about civilization, morality, religion, and identity are rooted within colonial structures.The Caribbean person often lives within competing worlds:• African heritage, • European institutions, • Christian theology, • colonial education, • and postcolonial realities. Thus, Caribbean Thought requires critical examination of the foundations of knowledge itself.________________II. Defining Key Terms1. AfrocentricityAccording to Molefi Kete Asante and Ama Mazama, Afrocentricity is a way of seeing and interpreting the world from the perspective of African people as subjects rather than objects of history.Afrocentricity seeks to:• center African agency, • restore African humanity, • reclaim African history, • and cultivate what Dr. Mazama calls a “consciousness of victory” rather than perpetual oppression. Afrocentricity does not necessarily reject other cultures. Rather, it insists that African people have the right to define themselves and interpret reality from their own historical and cultural experiences.In simple terms:Afrocentricity asks: What happens when African people become the center of their own narratives instead of existing only through European interpretations?ConclusionToday's lecture introduced the conceptual foundations for our study of Caribbean Thought.We examined:• Afrocentricity, • Afrocentrism, • Eurocentrism, • ethnocentrism, • colonialism, • and the Afrocentric Paradigm. We also explored how colonial consciousness continues to shape Caribbean identity, religion, culture, and historical understanding.Next week, we will move into African civilizations and early African contributions to world history as we continue developing an African-centered understanding of Caribbean identity and consciousness.Bibliography / Source ListMolefi Kete Asante.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have officially entered a timeline where classical music is controversial.Not lyrics glorifying violence. Not explicit content. Not even political propaganda. No, the problem—according to the ever-vigilant outrage patrol—is that stores like Walgreens and 7-Eleven are playing Bach and opera… and it's working. Fewer people loitering. Fewer encampments. Fewer disruptions to customers trying to buy toothpaste without stepping over a human tragedy.And somehow, that's the scandal.[X] SB – Classical music to keep Blacks awayScience behind it?Let's just say it out loud: at least it's not water cannons and German shepherds. Nobody's getting sprayed off the sidewalk like it's a 1960s newsreel. No one's being chased down an alley. It's violins, people. Cellos. A harpsichord having a quiet little moment.Johann Sebastian Bach is now apparently the face of systemic oppression.The psychology of why this works. The Left's selective compassion, which somehow has more energy for critiquing playlists than fixing homelessness. The economic reality for businesses stuck in the middle. And finally, the cultural irony of declaring classical music—arguably one of humanity's highest artistic achievements—as a tool of dehumanization.Because if Bach is the problem… then what exactly is the solution?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

W.E.B. Du Bois is remembered as a civil rights leader, sociologist, and author of The Souls of Black Folk. But before he became famous for his empirical studies of Black life in America, Du Bois was a graduate student at Harvard studying cutting-edge economic theory. In 1891, at age 23, he submitted a 158-page manuscript entitled A Constructive Critique of Wage Theory to a Harvard prize competition. The manuscript sat in the Harvard archives for over a century, largely unexamined by trained economists. Author Daniel Kuehn recently requested that Harvard digitize the manuscript so that he could analyze its contents. In a paper in the Journal of Economic Perspectives, he explores how Du Bois anticipated the application of marginalist ideas in economics to the determination of wages.  Kuehn recently spoke with Tyler Smith about Du Bois's contributions to wage theory, why these contributions went unrecognized, and how his time in Berlin redirected him toward the historical and empirical work for which he is known.

In this episode, LBS political commentator Lawrence Grandpre and Director of Public Policy Dayvon Love discuss the history of Venezuela, deconstruct the mythology of the US striking Venezuela to fight a “dictatorship,” examine why we must look beyond oil as an explanation for this violence, and how we must resist attempts for Democrats to triangulate the center on questions of military funding in the aftermath of this violence. Support the showIn Search of Black Power is a Black-owned internet show and podcast.

In the United States, the stoicism and importance of the “working class” is part of the national myth. The term is often used to conjure the contributions and challenges of the white working class – and this obscures the ways in which Black workers built institutions like the railroads and universities – but also how they transformed unions, changed public policy, and established community.  In Black Folk: The Roots of the Black Working Class (LIveright, 2023), Dr. Blair LM Kelley restores the Black working class to the center of the American story by interrogating the lives of laundresses, Pullman porters, domestic maids, and postal workers. The book is both a personal journey and a history of Black labor in the United States from enslavement to the present day with a focus on a critical era: after Southern Emancipation to the early 20th century, when the first generations of Black working people carved out a world for themselves. Dr. Kelley captures the character of the lives of Black workers not only as laborers, activists, or members of a class but as individuals whose daily experiences mattered – to themselves, to their communities, and to “the nation at large, even as it denied their importance.” As she weaves together rich oral histories, memoirs, photographs, and secondary sources, she shows how Black workers of all genders were “intertwined with the future of Black freedom, Black citizenship, and the establishment of civil rights for Black Americans.” She demonstrates how her own family's experiences mirrors this wider history of the Black working class – sometimes in ways that she herself did not realize before writing the book. Even as the book confronts violence, poor working conditions, and a government that often legislated to protect the interests of white workers and consumers, Black Folk celebrates the ways in which Black people “built and rebuilt vital spaces of resistance, grounded in the secrets that they knew about themselves, about their community, their dignity, and their survival.” Black Folk looks back but also forward. In examining the labor and challenges of individuals, Dr. Kelley sheds light on reparations and suggests that Amazon package processing centers, supermarkets, and nursing homes can be spaces of resistance and labor activism in the 21st century. Dr. Blair LM Kelley is the Joel R. Williamson Distinguished Professor of Southern Studies at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and incoming director of the Center for the Study of the American South, the first Black woman to serve in that role in the center's thirty-year history. She is also the author of Right to Ride: Streetcar Boycotts and African American Citizenship in the Era of Plessy v. Ferguson from the University of North Carolina Press. Dr. Kelley mentions Dr. Tera W. Hunter's To ‘Joy My Freedom: Southern Black Women's Lives and Labors After the Civil War, Duke University's Behind the Veil oral history project, and Philip R. Rubio's There's Always Work at the Post Office: African American Postal Workers and the Fight for Jobs, Justice, and Equality. Learn more about your ad choices.

In the United States, the stoicism and importance of the “working class” is part of the national myth. The term is often used to conjure the contributions and challenges of the white working class – and this obscures the ways in which Black workers built institutions like the railroads and universities – but also how they transformed unions, changed public policy, and established community.  In Black Folk: The Roots of the Black Working Class (LIveright, 2023), Dr. Blair LM Kelley restores the Black working class to the center of the American story by interrogating the lives of laundresses, Pullman porters, domestic maids, and postal workers. The book is both a personal journey and a history of Black labor in the United States from enslavement to the present day with a focus on a critical era: after Southern Emancipation to the early 20th century, when the first generations of Black working people carved out a world for themselves. Dr. Kelley captures the character of the lives of Black workers not only as laborers, activists, or members of a class but as individuals whose daily experiences mattered – to themselves, to their communities, and to “the nation at large, even as it denied their importance.” As she weaves together rich oral histories, memoirs, photographs, and secondary sources, she shows how Black workers of all genders were “intertwined with the future of Black freedom, Black citizenship, and the establishment of civil rights for Black Americans.” She demonstrates how her own family's experiences mirrors this wider history of the Black working class – sometimes in ways that she herself did not realize before writing the book. Even as the book confronts violence, poor working conditions, and a government that often legislated to protect the interests of white workers and consumers, Black Folk celebrates the ways in which Black people “built and rebuilt vital spaces of resistance, grounded in the secrets that they knew about themselves, about their community, their dignity, and their survival.” Black Folk looks back but also forward. In examining the labor and challenges of individuals, Dr. Kelley sheds light on reparations and suggests that Amazon package processing centers, supermarkets, and nursing homes can be spaces of resistance and labor activism in the 21st century.

Nicki Minaj grifting for a Trump gold card has been circling the rumor mill for the past few weeks. As she cozies up to the maga movement many have speculated that it was all about her citizenship. While that may be true, our guest co-host JBversustheWorld think it's more to it than that. Could pardons for two of her close family members be at play, too?Speaking of Nicki Minaj, Kanye West is back in headlines as he offers a new apology to the Black and Jewish communities. Should he be forgiven? Is his mental state to blame? If so, how much? Does the apology exonerate Mr. West? We dig into a bit of legacy, forgiveness, and our personal feelings.While we're on the subject, Is it time for Black Folks to jump back into the political arena? If so, how far should we get involved? Can we afford to stay on the sideline? Lastly, we talk about the newest Marvel hero to hit the MCU, Wonder Man. Instructor BK absolutely loves the first four episodes of the show. He gives a spoiler free review as to what the show actually accomplishes and what the vibes are. In that same breath, every corporation has it's 'thorn in the lions paw' and for Disney that looks like shows with black leads, writers, and female directors. Is Disney actively ignoring the greatness of most of their black and female lead shows? How much does the algorithm play a part in these issues? Is it the small minority of the people with those shades? You know the shades we're talking about. #Marvel #Wonderman #NickiMinaj #KanyeWest #MCU

This week's reading was heavy—emotionally and intellectually. We paired Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass(1845) with W.E.B. DuBois' The Souls of Black Folk (1903), and the contrast was striking.Douglass' firsthand account of slavery is harrowing, beautifully written, and unforgettable. From his stolen childhood to his carefully guarded escape, his story exposes not only the cruelty of slavery but its spiritual damage to everyone caught in its system. His reflections on faith, suffering, and corrupted Christianity are especially powerful. This is one book I believe every American should read.DuBois offers a sociological lens on life after Emancipation—Reconstruction failures, education debates, segregation, and his idea of the “Talented Tenth.” While insightful, his approach felt more theoretical to me than Douglass' lived experience.Both are worth reading—but Douglass, especially, will stay with you.LINKTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)My Amazon Book List (NOT an affiliate link)CONNECTThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes: https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ LISTENSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5GpySInw1e8IqNQvXow7Lv?si=9ebd5508daa245bdApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crack-the-book/id1749793321 Captivate - https://crackthebook.captivate.fm

In this episode, Siquoyia Blue takes you on a lyrical journey from the emerald hills of Ireland to the sacred forests of Central Africa — following a trail of stories hidden beneath centuries of myth. Beyond the glitter of leprechaun legends lies an older memory: tales of small, dark-skinned folk who lived close to the land, remembered in whispers from both Celtic and African traditions. Through haunting storytelling and mindful reflection, Siquoyia unravels how these images of “the little people” may have traveled, transformed, and transcended time itself. More than a search for origins, this episode is a meditation on how myth preserves memory, how culture reshapes truth, and how the unseen can still hold great power. Stay curious — because sometimes, the oldest myths remember what history tries to forget.

The Bad Speakers are back with another wild and unfiltered episode!

Today's tough-on-crime laws couldn't hold a candle back in the day. As soon as enslavement ended, the foolishness started. Black people – even those who were already free – could be jailed for anything, and these reasons are three of the most ridiculous. _____________ 2-Minute Black History is produced by PushBlack, the nation's largest non-profit Black media company.

This week Benji and Tori are talking about the importance of interracial solidarity in the face of rising fascism even when our "teams" don't always see eye to eye. And we're asking the question, whose responsibility is it to hold the line? And who is at risk when we decide to throw away our compassion and just stop caring about the well-being of our neighbors?
