Funding is the Matter
Funding is the Matter is a podcast that talks about the surplus of issues caused by the racial wealth gap. I tackle different science and policy issues on the local, state, and federal levels. Within each section, I am going to have a policy memo episode. A policy memo is a document that provides analysis and/or recommendations for a particular audience regarding a particular situation or problem. This is a podcast to educate and empower us all to take our future into our own hands. For the first series, I am going to be investigating the lack of funds for Historically Black Colleges and Universities or HBCUs.This podcast proves to define that Black Lives Matter is a scientific and social problem.To subscribe to this podcast, you can find it on Spotify, Apple, or other podcast platforms. This is a bi-weekly podcast, and it will be released on July 25th.
