  • Justice For Mubarak Soulemane
    The March 17, 2024 episode of Mic Check features an interview from 2020, when host Mike Merli was in conversation with Mariyann Soulemane, sister of Mubarak Soulemane, a 19 year-old Black Muslim teenager who was murdered by CT State Police (in collaboration with West Haven Police) on January 15, 2020.
    Mubarak Soulemane was 19 years old.
    Mubarak Soulemane was a student at Gateway Community College in New Haven.
    Mubarak Soulemane was an athlete, who loved playing basketball.
    Mubarak Soulemane was an entrepreneur, studying business.
    A teenager, with a heart of gold who would literally give the shirt off his back to help someone. And he did exactly that, on multiple occasions.
    His kindness and generosity are reflected in the many friends he had that mourn his loss.
    He had dreams of traveling the world.
    He had a family that loved him so much.
    And now all of that is gone for Mubarak.
    In a rare instance, Trooper Brian North was actually indicted on criminal charges for taking Mubarak’s life.
    However, on Friday, a jury consisting of mostly older white men, rendered a NOT GUILTY verdict on all counts North was charged with.

  • Denise Baden - Author "Habitat Man" The power of positive climate narratives.
    My guest is Denise Baden, a Professor of Sustainable Business within Southampton Business School at the University of Southampton in Britain. Denise set up the Green Stories Project which includes free writing competitions that encourage storytellers to embed climate solutions into stories aimed at mainstream readers across a variety of formats.
