Grumpy Wizdom - On Resistance - Episode 7

In this raw and reflective episode of Grumpy Wizdom, Talib Jasir walks us through his personal history of protest. From high school to New York City street, each story becomes a time capsule of resistance. With conviction and clarity, Talib revisits early moments—his first silent protest, discovering Nation of Islam's newspaper The Final Call, and the energy of D.C.’s political awakenings. He shares memories from May Day to the Million Man March, reminding us how the struggle evolves and how we pass on rebellion as a birthright.

Whether challenging police brutality or standing firm against injsutice anywhere, Talib calls us to intentional, strategic resistance—and to atonement not as guilt, but as a lifelong responsibility to ourselves and the people.
