Hey shiftshapers, it's time to get personal! This week we're talking about your inner circle in Episode 37: What About Yo Friends with EbonyJanice! EbonyJanice Moore is a womanist scholar, author, and activist doing community-organizing work, most specifically around black women's body ownership as a justice issue, black women's access to ease, joy, and play, and Hip Hop as a tool for sociopolitical and spiritual/religious movement making. Her research interests include issues pertaining to blackness, woman-ness, and spirituality – most specifically black women's use of spirit, conjure, and/or the supernatural as a tool to impact social justice, and the pluralism of Black Christianity, and the interconnectedness of the Southern Black Christian experience with Indigenous African religions and African Spirituality. She is a Hip Hop Scholar and hosts a podcast focused on hip hop and womanism called Rap Theology. She recently performed an original creative piece about The Rebellion at Igbo Landing at The Public Theater in New York City and is currently working on an expansion of that play focused on the women that often get lost in the story. EbonyJanice has a B.A. in Cultural Anthropology and Political Science and a Master of Arts in Social Change with a concentration in Spiritual Leadership, Womanist Theology, and Racial Justice. She is the founder of Black Girl Mixtape, a multi-platform safe think-space, centering the intellectual authority of black women in the form of a lecture series, a podcast, and an online learning institute lead by black women scholars.

We speak with Nex Millen - Hip Hop Scholar, Culture Keeper, MC, Activist, Educator, DJ, Producer and more. Nex brings a unique perspective from his childhood and formative years growing up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We discuss the racial issues effecting our nation right now and what boots on the ground have to say about that. We talk about his work with the One Mic Studio (in collaboration with LEAF Global Arts) and his outlet as an educator teaching kids about hip-hop culture and how to enrich their lives. We discuss the way Covid has brought us back to the place of focusing on what is most important and how it frames how we move forward. Nex was also on the movement that garnered national attention when the city of Asheville presented and considered a reparation platform to help the disenfranchised people of color in our city. We look at how the original proposal has changed and how the watering down and placating nature of the revised version of the initiative is less helpful and far less useful. The long violent and racist history of the United States is still evident in the country we live in present day and an understanding of that will help us move forward. Please support the YMI Cultural Center and any other organizations like it in your listening area to help fight systemic racism and help found a more just and verdant future.
