Black Future Manifest[o]

We sit down with Dr. Jessica Barron (@drjessicabarron), ethnographer and author of The Urban Church Imagined, to talk about Black and POC voluntarily entering predominately white spaces and its impact on the individual and organizations. This is our FIRST crossover episode with fellow Frontline Solutions production, At The Intersection (@atthepodcast), a podcast by two friends investigating what happens at the intersection of identity, culture, and policy, with Brian Kennedy and Marion Johnson. This live recording was hosted at The Vault in Durham, North Carolina.

Join us as we sit down with Ronda Taylor-Bullock, who has dedicated her life work to decolonizing the minds of white people. We discuss whiteness, its impact on us as Black people, and how and when to call out white people on their bullsh!t.

We sit down with Omisade Burney-Scott, a healer, mother, proud crone and tribe member of SpiritHouse, to discuss how patriarchy shows up in our daily lives.

On this special spotlight episode, your host, Mariah M, profiles base building organization, the Black Youth Project 100 (BYP100), whose members are committed to tackling injustice using a Black Queer Feminist framework. NOTE: This episode was recorded in October 2018. Since then, Charlene Carruthers has moved out of her position as National Director of BYP100. As of December 2018, BYP100 now has two National Co-Directors, D'atra Jackson and Janaé Bonsu. We at BFM would like to wish both Janaé and D'atra strength and grounding in their new positions.
