In episode 3 I share an audio essay - “Radical Means Getting to the Root” - about why patriarchy is a lie from hell that must be unlearned and dismantled if our species is to survive. I touch on Melissa Harris-Perry’s Crooked Room Theory and the discombobulating reality the room creates. Plus the tools and imagination needed for learning and remembering what we actually need. I also talk joy, grace, collaborating with folks who see/value you, and what matters way more than the academy’s fickle validation. The Purple & Green segment comes from the Oracle that is Sista Docta Alexis Pauline Gumbs. And I share details about my new 8-week course “The Room: Afrofuturism as a Path to Our Retroactive Healing” dropping this September. More info visit: https://www.saramakeba.com/new-page
