Summary
<p><strong>This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum are TOGETHER IN MIAMI!! </strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>This week’s convo kicks off with a listener question: why not move to Africa? But for real, it’s cheaper to live there or open a business–plus there’s a tradition of Black Americans moving to Africa. However, we DON’T want to be moving like white colonizers. </strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>The Trump administration has threatened to pull funding from Universities that teach subjects they don’t approve of, like Critical Race Theory and LGBTQ+ studies (so much for the party of free speech). How do we protect freedom of thought in our schools and institutions from a repressive authoritarian government? </strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Reverend Al Sharpton has had talks with Target’s CEO about DEI after a boycott of the company initiated by Pastor Jamal Bryant. Not everyone approves of the Reverend inserting himself into the situation, which begs the question: who gets to call themselves a leader of the Black community? Are we a leaderless movement??</strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>A shout-out to the State of the People Tour which kicks off in Atlanta this week! A special thanks to Angela Rye for showing up to work at NLP today despite being DEEP in organizing mode.
