Hoodrat to Headwrap: A Decolonized Podcast iHartEricka

No Pride without Black Trans Liberation and Reparations--Not Rations, Pooh.

Black trans liberation, much like Black liberation and the liberation of all oppressed peoples across the globe, requires a complete redistribution and reorganization of the current power structure/status quo--is GLAAD ready? Is GLSEN ready? Are you ready?

Alt episode titles:
How do we respond to white violence? (aka what's the proper procedure?)
Coddling of the dominant narratives and who gets permission to be tardy to the party?
The faux care economy and celebrity machine--who actually cares and do we, as marginalized peoples, need them to?
Hoodrat to Headwrap to Lacefront ft Elle Moxley
What resistance will require of us? What does solidarity demand of us?

The genocidal settler colonial regime of Israel will be brought to heel, the genocidal settler colonial United States government will be brought to heel.

We must do this together and resist the allure of anti-Black divisive voices and agents of the state, would be movement detractors seeking to undermine and silence hundreds of years of Black and Palestinian coalition building and solidarity. We will win.

"without community, there is no liberation, only the most vulnerable and temporary armistice between an individual and [their] oppression."--Audre Lorde

Join us for a special episode of Black People Tell Black History (yes, it's giving very much Anita Baker 365 days of the year same ol love) with our love Elle Moxley talking about community, how some of ya;ll wouldnt know what it is if it fell and hit you in the head and how market forces, capitalism and white supremacy are driving us away from each other, the theft of our culture is driving us away from each other in an attempt to lessen our pride in our shared identity and even that's not enough to assure solidarity, gentrification is physically doing the job of isolating Black folks from one another. So what do we do?

When it comes to liberation, everybody won't come (and don't want to)
Everybody is not your friend and how we (mostly Ebony) are resisting all of that and subsequently learning the hard way.

Thank you, ReesaTeesa.
