Ep. 70 - Say It Loud: Black, Disabled, and Proud!


Listen Later

On this week's episode, Amber and Erika are joined by activist and artist, Leroy Moore, to discuss the often ignored world of Black disabled people. Leroy is a Grammy award-winning poet, speaker, and the founder of Krip Hop Nation, a collective of disabled artists and musicians. Through his own personal experiences combined with his advocacy and activism, Leroy sheds light on how ableism joins with racism to especially impact disabled Black people.

Listen up to get Leroy's insight about how we can create more inclusive Black movements and advocate for an equitable society for all Black people.
