24 - What's in a platform?, Class in Session, #ATLUjimacollective, and First Blacks
In episode four of season two, co-hosts Dr. CBS and Dr. Layla Brown, start by shooting the shit with producer, Too Black, about what makes something a social media page vs platform. In her "Planting Thoughts" segment, Layla breaks down the Monstera Deliciosa (Swiss Cheese plant) and how it relates to making sure we all are taken care of. and how as life changes sometimes we need to not necessarily let go of things but pay more attention. Next, the two co-hosts conduct the "Class in Session" segment with Ph.D. students, Ashley Torres Carrasquillo and Chloe D. Ricks, about the importance of mentorship in graduate school, trusting in your scholarship, and linking scholarship to community work. In "Live From the Streets," the co-hosts then speak about student demands at Atlanta University Center with Co-founder of the ATLUjimacollective, Ellis Sawyer, Black Alliance for Peace, Tunde Osazua, and Assistant Professor of International Political Economy at Clark Atlanta University, Dr. Tamanisha John. "In these Tweets" is back by popular demand. We explore the neoliberalization of everything, cooking, struggling for the people, and the myth of the "First Black."
