Beyond "Rugged Individualism": The Power of Collective Core Values

Western society glorifies rugged individualism, but in the Black community, we know the truth—our power has always been collective. From Black Wall Street to the Black Panther Party, from HBCUs to our multigenerational families, we have built, protected, and uplifted each other through shared core values like unity, self-determination, and collective responsibility.

Yet, these values have been ignored—or worse, attacked—by a society that fears our strength.

In this episode, we confront this erasure and celebrate the Black collectives that have shaped our past, empowered our present, and will define our future.

Join me, Ama-Robin, as we uncover how collective core values fuel Black empowerment and liberation—and why we should honor, support, and defend them now more than ever. ✊🏾🔥
