This week’s episode brings you a powerful conversation with Amoja MoMan Sumler. If you’ve been a part of THE Celebration since for a while, you’ll recognize MoMan from past episodes.
For the new folks: MoMan is a nationally celebrated poet, essayist, and one of the preeminent emerging voices of leftist intersectional social advocacy.
This interview takes a dive deep into how we can have action back up our proclamation that Black Lives Matter.
Plus we talk about:
Virtue Signaling vs. Actually Taking Action
Aspiring Allyship vs. Performative Allyship
How to align our actions with our values for change
The case for defunding the police
How the NFL, Amazon, and other corporations can actually prove that they support Black Lives Matter
I’m telling you – that’s just the tip of the iceberg. This interview with MoMan goes in hard.
MoMan is also one of the most brilliant poets I know, and he made sure to share three powerful poems with us.
On top of all that: my daughter Jayanma makes a cameo appearance!
Let’s do it.
