THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with host Lynn Harris Ballen :: FIRST … More children die in the US from gun violence than any other reason. We talk to Patti Giggans, the Executive Director of Peace Over Violence, about Actions Over Gun Violence – what she calls the common sense applications that can serve the collective and community good, and prevent the murder of children, suicides and deaths from domestic violence.
AND … From Black Panther to Janelle Monae and Erykah Badu, Afrofuturism has become part of our culture. Filmmaker and author Ytasha Womack defines Afrofuturism as “the intersection between black culture, technology, liberation and the imagination, with some mysticism thrown in, too.” On this episode of Making Contact – Afrofuturism: 3 Women You Need to Know – authors Nalo Hopkinson, Nnedi Okorafor, and Jewelle Gomez discuss the role of history and politics in their work, the monsters that haunt their stories and the importance of imagining the future.
THEN … Cherise Charleswell talks to Romy Pickron, founder of Asset Achievers, about representation and making a career as a certified financial planner in a white and male dominated industry. And key tips for wealth building for women and people of color.
