Interrupting Everything

Ep 56: Have the Presidential Term You Organized for with Damon Turner


Listen Later

If you've been sitting around waiting for liberation to be legislated, this episode is your wake-up call.

In this powerful conversation, Nikki Blak sits down with artist, activist, community organizer, and cultural architect Damon Turner to talk about what it really means to build the world we deserve — not through voting alone, but through organizing, culture-making, and community-led imagination.

We're naming what's not working, calling out the limits of electoral politics, and re-centering joy, creativity, and collaboration as tools for revolution.

This episode is for the artists, the disillusioned organizers, the aspiring co-conspirators, and everyone in between. Because if you're tired of broken promises and performative politics, Damon is about to remind you that the work of liberation is a lifestyle, not a news cycle.

You'll learn:
  • What it means to have the term you organized for — beyond campaign season

  • Why culture is a critical front in the fight for justice

  • How Black art and imagination disrupt systems in ways policy can't

  • What's possible when we lead with abundance instead of fear

We're not waiting on saviors or systems to validate our liberation. We're creating it, claiming it, and building it — right now.
