On this episode… Do Black people need to be on the same page about the sh!t non-Black people say? Then investment advisor Lydia Idem joins us to discuss the future of water, water futures, what they, who owns water in this babylon country, and whether you can play in the stock market and dismantle white supremacist patriarchal capitalism at the same time.
