“We are going to change the world. We will win. It's just not going to happen tomorrow.I may not happen the day after tomorrow — but we will win.”

In Episode 26, it is my pleasure to share my interview with Amber Hamilton, President and CEO of the Memphis Music Initiative/ Philanthropy Disruptor/ Freedom Fighter.  

The words that she shared with me were soul food. I’m talking greens, hot water cornbread, and black-eyed peas.

In 2025, that’s the kind of rich, hearty food that I need to sustain myself for the battles ahead.

I’m not just talking about the fight against the destruction of valued American institutions and of the social safety net which once upon a time made America at least closer to greatness than it is today. I’m talking about the fight against fear and the temptation to silently acquiesce to a new normal which those who are opposed to justice, democracy, unity, and the common good are trying to establish.

Of course, after listening to her brilliance on the podcast, you’ll want to know more about Amber and the great work she supports through Memphis Music Initiative!
