    I enjoyed listening to Chevon and Hiba’s perspectives, the points they made, and the resources they shared on the “black lives matter” episode. I appreciated the transparency and honesty in the personal stories you shared. ❤️

    Also, as a fellow podcaster, I want to commend the producers for the engineering and editing. The podcast flowed seamlessly and the sound quality was phenomenal. The hosts mentioned it was recorded virtually and it sounded like it was recorded in a studio.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 07: From Minneapolis to LA - History, Flashpoints, and the Fight for Community Safety
Q: What does it look like for you to witness that from the ground? And what has been most urgent to hold or protect in the midst of it?
Witnessing communities stand up for each other in the face of violence is urgent; the narrative often painted about them as inherently violent contributes to fear and justifies state violence.
Episode 07: From Minneapolis to LA - History, Flashpoints, and the Fight for Community Safety
Q: How do you understand this pattern of state control?
It's a complex concept tied deeply to societal foundations and how control is exerted from a young age, leading to mistrust and manipulation of community narratives.
Episode 04: Advancing Health Equity with Dr. Aletha Maybank, Chief Health Equity Officer, American Medical Association
Q: Why do you think the idea that health is a personal responsibility solely is so harmful to black and brown communities?
This narrative disregards the structural factors affecting health, such as access to resources and safety, ultimately leading to unfair health outcomes for marginalized groups.
Episode 04: Advancing Health Equity with Dr. Aletha Maybank, Chief Health Equity Officer, American Medical Association
Q: From your viewpoint, why is promoting health equity so important?
Promoting health equity is crucial to recognizing that health is influenced by systemic inequities, not just individual choices, thus requiring a collective responsibility for health outcomes.
Episode 08: Defending The Pathways For Black Economic Advancement with Ayana Parsons, Co-Founder Fearless Fund
Q: Through the strivers' grant, why do you think it could create opposition from politically conservative groups?
It challenges the notion of equal access and opportunity in America, and the lawsuit against the Fearless Fund suggests a movement to eliminate race-conscious decision-making, which threatens the ability to pursue economic freedom for marginalized communities.
