My guest on the podcast this week is Darnell L. Moore. Darnell is a media maker, educator, writer and thought leader and the author of the 2019 Lambda Literary Award winning memoir, No Ashes in the Fire: Coming of Age Black & Free in America, which was listed among the New York Times 100 Notable Books and was a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers' pick. He is currently Vice President of Inclusion Strategy for Content and Marketing at Netflix and was the former Head of Strategy and Programs at Breakthrough US.
In our wide ranging and intimate conversation, Darnell and I chat about the critical importance of self-reflective work as the companion piece to social justice work, his transition to Los Angeles from the east coast, the power of love to transform our social movements and individual lives and the continuing impact of his book No Ashes in the Fire: Coming of Age Black & Free in America.
Darnell has also been an advocate for gender equity and sexual diversity and we also chat about the importance of not only pointing out injustice and oppression, but also the necessary work of examining the ways in which each of us may be complicit in oppressing others.
