While Black

Health Care is one of the most important systems that we touch on a daily basis and the disparities we manage through have been here since we have. As a matter of fact, we've been the subject of cruel and unusual punishment in the name of health advancement and then treated like second-class citizens during our times of need. If we desire to change the system that we operate in then step one is to understand that system.

In today's episode Duane Reynolds, CEO of Just Health Collective, spends time breaking down what's really going on inside the healthcare industry, how it impacts you, and his work to improve it.

This should be a mandatory listen family!

There are few stories as as perfectly fit for While Black as is this one. 

Black people have long been significant contributors to American society and culture. We've done it time and time again against the odds and often with little to no credit. However, in this case, we celebrate the amazing story of the enslaved Nearest Green (Namesake of Uncle Nearest Whiskey) and Jack Daniel. Jack and Nearest enjoyed a relationship not often seen during enslaved times, which included Nearest mentoring Jack in the ways of whiskey and in turn Jack celebrating Nearest OUTLOUD. This amazing story of times passed laid the foundation for the Nearest brand to sore to record breaking heights today....and if that wasn't dope enough...its all led by a black woman...The amazing Fawn Weaver.  

This is MANDATORY listening!

Make sure you follow Fawn HERE and get to know the Uncle Nearest Brand better HERE

Our future is bright with the young leaders of the movement at the helm! They have a drive, a passion, and a dedication that that is unstoppable. Much like the great leaders from the civil rights movement, there is a power that resonates inside our youth, and we are better served by partnering, listening, and learning.

Kylie is the founder of When Will It End 2020 and is relentless in her quest for social justice and equality.

I know this episode will inspire you.

On this, our last installment of the powerful words series, we close out with a King delivering the words of a King. Martin Luther King III reads and performs for all of us the powerful words from his father last sermon from the pulpit of Ebenezer Baptist Church. The sermon is called the Drum Major Instinct and from its call for police to stand with black citizens to its discussion of how many of us fight to keep up with the "Jones's" it is hyper relevant.

During this session, there were moments that i had tears in my eyes. None more so than when Martin himself get a little chocked up as he read through his fathers words about his own funeral which we now know would end up being only a couple of months later. In this session, I realized that to us Dr Martin Luther King Jr was this larger than life figure that we respect and hold high because of what he did - but to MLKIII he was simply Dad. You get a chance to feel the real emotion in Martin when you realize that much like i miss my own father he misses his own.

This is a very special episode of While Black Presents "Powerful Words"
