17:52 "WHY DID YOU COME HERE?!" 😭😭 I felt that so hard because the veil of "The American Dream" got yanked off long ago. I'm so glad Olayemi did come here and I learn something _monumental_ every time I hear her speak. These two ladies keep me sane. 👑👑

@MaxineShaw_84 Жыл бұрын
Ah, yes...the dream of leaving a land that's 85% Black with no prison industrial complex...to come here and endure stereotypes throughout her education in some of America's most racist states/cities, ultimately making it her life's work to abolish the prison pipeline while defending & advocating for people being held at Rikers because they can't make bail. Go find somebody else's comment to play under.

I first saw Olayemi on rising and I thought of Amanda and how I would like to see you two together. As soon as I saw the thumbnail I knew I had to watch this right away. I must say that it did not disappoint. I learned so much watching this episode. There is no end to the ways America pulls the wool over our eyes.

@Oluminatti @msolurin when folk cannot pronounce your name properly you continue to repeat it. This was unacceptable for this to be the second interview between you both and Amanda hadn't practiced repeating your full beautiful name until she got it. Friends and Fam can use the shortened version not people who aren't taking the time to listen and get it right. That being said, highly informative episode.

1. Olay is from the Bahamas, not Africa. 2. Enslaved people from Africa and the Caribbeans literally built this country after white people lead a genocide against indigenous Americans to steal the land. So if anything, we know this country better than the white people who try to keep us oppressed because they know this truth.
