In this episode, Jeffery C. White and Christian Banza explore what it truly means to move beyond representation. 🗳️The episode opens with Jeffery’s original poem “Black Representation,” a stirring reflection on the limits of visibility and the need for transformation that reaches beneath the surface. From Reconstruction and Jim Crow to redlining, COINTELPRO, and the modern political landscape, Jeffery traces how Black struggle has always demanded more than symbolic inclusion. 🇺🇸Christian brings the Canadian perspective, highlighting the legacy of figures like Mary Ann Shadd, Jean Augustine, Michaëlle Jean, and Greg Fergus. He asks how participation, storytelling, and community power continue to redefine belonging and leadership in Canada. 🇨🇦Together, they challenge us to ask the harder questions: What shifts when the floor itself moves? What happens after the door opens? How do we turn presence into power and visibility into voice?🔥 A conversation grounded in history, sharpened by critique, and rooted in love for community. 📅 We’ll be back on October 18th. ✊🏾As always, keep the conversation going.
