Deeply Rooted
This week Tamika D Mallory and Mysonne discuss topics including climate change, quality control, customer service, and the importance of preserving land ownership in the Black community. They share personal experiences with Airbnb rentals and highlight the need for better customer service and attention to detail. They also interview Brea Baker, author of the book 'Rooted: The American Legacy of Land Theft and the Modern Movement for Black Land Ownership,' who discusses the history of land theft from Black communities and the importance of preserving and passing down land within families. The conversation highlights the historical trauma and systemic barriers that have prevented Black families from acquiring and maintaining wealth. The discussion also touches on the issue of food apartheid and the loss of access to land for Black farmers, as well as the importance of political engagement and voting for creating change.
