    Season 2 of TWB will highlight places within LA & SB Counties that serve as community staples, places of refuge and that symbolize permanence for the Black community where generations of families continue to thrive. Within each neighborhood, there’s always a staple in the community that brings people together- whether a church, restaurant, community center, or park. These places are typically passed down from one generation to the next and play a pivotal role in preserving Blackness as gentrification, underfunding, and climate change threaten their existence. We’ll celebrate the culture and history of these staples by hearing from community members and visiting the places that have become local institutions.

    Episode 6: Governing While Black with Karim Webb

    Everyone has their own lane in the movement. Whether you’re the person on the ground canvassing, or the grant writer submitting proposals, or the funder advocating on behalf of certain organizations, we all have our lane. The folks sitting on boards for nonprofit organizations or philanthropic institutions are crucial figures– they need to be plugged into the community and ready to advance the cause of justice as an institutional north star. At the same time, it’s important for the community to know how to navigate the halls and positions of institutional power. In this episode, we discuss how positional power is an important lever for creating the conditions for Black folks to thrive. In loving memory of Reggie Webb. Beloved husband, father and entrepreneur. (1948-2024)

    Episode 4: Leading While Black with Marc Philpart

    Eradicating systemic and institutionalized racism isn’t the work of one organization or two, it’s about creating an ecosystem of power building organizations throughout the state (and country!) that work together to generate a movement. The California Black Freedom Fund and the Black Equity Collective are two examples of what empowering organizations with resources and community allows for maximum impact.
