"I imagined Many Moons in the sky lighting the way to freedom" Welcome to Episode #30 of Crushing Disappointment. Matt chats to himself about his crush on Cindi Mayweather. Disappointments: Was this too ambitious? Should you have used more sources than just those you found by searching "Cindi Mayweather" on Google Scholar? Should you have just left this to people who are better equipped to discuss race, class, and gender?

Detroit-based artist, curator, Afrofuturist and former mayoral candidate Ingrid LaFleur talks about: Running for mayor of Detroit- why she did and what she learned in the process; her platform of Universal Basic Income, combatting economic violence, and using block chain for a local currency; how and why she started using block chain—mainly to use as an alternative currency that she would like to see implemented into Detroit’s economy; and the Detroit art community: how it’s segregated, ideally the kind of acknowledgement she would like from the white male artists who move to the city (which is 85% African-American)…plus, she offers a thoughtful prescription to anyone (white artists in particular) who may be moving to the city, of how to do so mindfully and respectfully.

Why Ingrid is running for Mayor of Detroit. Why creatives and those who are otherwise not politicians should get involved in politics. Detroit's sprawl and history of massive inequality along racial and geographic lines. The primacy of poverty and inequality. The water shut off policies and legacy of attacks on lower income people by Detroit's "Emergency Managers." Ingrid’s interest in political afrofuturism.
