This podcast exists to learn about the love, the dignity and the creative power of Black people who are our fellow Americans… and… This podcast exists to value differences, while breaking down conscious and unconscious barriers of separation which are sometimes caused by those differences. In this October episode I am scary grateful and supremely honored to be sharing conversation with Freddie Taylor, the Founder and CEO of Sankofa Club… an online resource for Black parents to supplement their children’s education, and, in Freddie’s words: “to keep the miseducation away.” Mis-education? Oh yes!  Plenty of miseducation about Black people’s history… and the time is long overdue for real-world facts to be acknowledged and affirmed … because the facts about Black people’s history and legacy extend faaar beyond the cruel and dehumanizing chapter of their enslavement in this country. Because one month each year is just. not. enough. Not. Even. Close. Freddie Taylor is dedicated, in the best sense of that word, to providing well-researched facts about Black’s people’s creative contributions, courage and leadership to today’s Black children, because today’s Black children deserve to grow up with pride in the true worth of their community, their culture, their ancestors…. I have watched hours and hours of Freddie’s online offerings, and the number one impression for me has been the deep Rightness of his motivations, his intentions, his service mindset… and all of that with uncommon generosity and positive energy. As white people, we have so much to learn about Black people’s lives and experiences… and a lot of what we need to be learning, understanding and absorbing is difficult, uncomfortable … painful. You don’t really need me to tell you that. It’s common knowledge, and it’s probably a big part of why you’re sharing some of your learning journey with me. The thing is, we also need to learn, to try to understand and to absorb Black people’s strengths, their values, their energy and their intelligence… which is why I was so grateful that Freddie agreed to share his thoughts with us… and I highly recommend that you go to his website: UrbanIntellectuals.com to get a broader sense of his activities and contributions, and the wider circle of his associates. We all need inspiration to remain energized and hopeful, so thank you Freddie Taylor… and thank you listeners.  If you haven’t already, please tell your friends about this podcast and subscribe … I promise you, this podcast is just going to become more and more worthwhile. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/onewhitewoman/message
