Those stories plus a conversation with writer, podcaster, consultant and educator Abena Imhotep. She is one of the most outspoken people I know. Abena was last on our broadcast in 2019 urging people to treat every Friday as "Black Friday". Meaning they should make it a point to shop at Black owned businesses each week. And, it works. Today we're here to talk about her new book, "Omari's Big Tree and the Mighty Djembe". Sure, you can get it on Amazon but why not support a local business? You'll also hear about her Podcast, "Black & Privileged" plus her work consulting businesses in diversity, equity and inclusion which has an amazing bit of education attached. Have a listen to this very dynamic woman who speaks...truth.
Thanks for listening!
