    Why we can't 'just deal with it'

    Why we can't 'just deal with it'

    About this episode:
    Just deal with it- every time movements gain traction and people speak out against injustice this is commonly used as a way to silence individuals and their plight. Are people willing to fight against injustice? Do we care enough? What are the challenges of being an activist? All this and more will be discussed, enjoy!

    Guest (Seneca) :
    Seneca Cayson, known professionally as Seneca Da Product, is an Award winning American music producer / recording artist / Activist 5’9”. Dreaded braids. Totally healthy cuz he’s vegan (probably never tasted duck blood soup). Goes nowhere without the Portland Justice T-shirt and his megaphone, generator, mic and speaker (Black power in a nutshell.) A black backpack never goes anywhere without Seneca. “What’s in your backpack?” Probably the book of love, a bag of peace, a few tears, a water bottle, throat lozenges after all those nights of speaking to thousands for Lord’s sake…and maybe a few oxygen masks for good measure. Portland, you know him. Oregon knows him. Nike knows him. New York Times, you know him too. NBC, you don’t know him, because he turned down your interview.
