Speaker 1 (00:00):
Are you tired of politicians who make a lot of
promises but don't get anything done. Fed up with white
people constantly threatening to take away your rights, Exhausted by
being treated like you're less than human, done with it
being underestimated, sick and tired of being sick and tired. Well,
here at after a punk, we've got the solutions, really
(00:28):
can't shut so that sometime the American dream is being
able to walk out, work hard on your own and
meet the world on your own terms, and be celebrated
for being black and walking in that truth. It's very
important to me. It's important to have any common space
(00:48):
affirms that they are not exclusionary, be an alternative to
what is wrong represented as this sort of monolithic, singular
idea of identity and popular culture. Education has always been
(01:15):
a tool for our collective liberation. We have to teach
our kids to build networks and build coalition. So we
educate our kids from this collective consciousness across multiple intersections
of identity, then we can start to build our own
institutions in our community. And you know, that's really to
me the answer schools, that is the point of today's conversation.
(01:45):
To understand how it is that we need to really
band together, to come together, to have our coalition, to
have our community life is not just divisive, it's actually
people are coming together. Overcoming racism operates on the belief
that we can continue to address the symptoms of educational inequity,
(02:06):
or we can finally address the cause, which is systemic racism.
I think it's so important that we begin to shape
the shame, the guilt, to stand up for ourselves, to
reclaim our bodies, reclaim our minds, reclaim our souls, and
reclaim the the the things that belong to us. To
(02:28):
be proud of who you are and know that your
story is powerful. The solution sessions. It's where real world
problems meet fearless solutions.
