Redesign America with Mustafa Ali-Smith

Raising Queer and Trans Voices in the Movement for Black Lives


Listen Later

The Black Lives Matter Movement is an important one, but we do ourselves an injustice by suppressing some of its voices. In this episode, we are joined by Stephon Bradberry (@stephon_jb), Founder of We, Too, are America (@w2aa_org), to talk about the importance of critically acknowledging and uplifting all Black lives, not just some. This conversation looks at how our history has left queer, trans, and non-binary people out of our history despite their many contributions to it, the lack of attention they have received in the Black Lives Matter Movement, and how Black communities must address the violence against queer and trans people within their own community.
