    Stand Up For Justice with rIVerse!

    Ya'll, it was cool chatting with Dizz and Khadija of rIVerse.   We discussed a lot from Black Lives Matter, diversity, intersections and their journey and their song "Stand Up".   They describe this powerful track as "a searing call-to-action in the current global fight against police brutality and systemic racism. The track empowers listeners of all races to fight back against police violence, racial profiling and a corrupt system that targets Black men, women, and children."  Learn more on rIVerse in the links below!  Stand Up Video rIVerse on Instagram rIVerse Facebook Page rIVerse on Soundcloud rIVerse TikTok As always, I can be reached at Les@LesLighthouse.com;  IG and Twitter

    Black Queer Womxn in Design

    Welcome to the 2nd season premiere of The Be A Beacon Podcast!  It was cool to sit and chat with Black queer women that are literally planning our communities!  I wanted to have this topic on because we need to be more engaged in the community planning process.   From the way houses and apartment buildings are built to our shopping centers, grocery stores and parks, and just how we live in general, it's all connected.   Why does this matter to our communities?  Watch and listen!    To view the episode on video, click here: https://youtu.be/cX5nkOfLWK0 You can subscribe to the Be A Beacon Podcast anywhere you find podcasts.
