Meet Lesley-Ann Brown: Author of Decolonial Daughter – Letters from a Black Woman to her European Son

I was featured on Black Girls Allowed! "I wrote  Decolonial Daughter: Letters from a Black Woman to her European Son  not just for my son, but for all the children of the so-called west, so that there is balance to the lies that they are taught in school.

Blackgirl on Mars Podcast Episode 3 featuring Kelly Curry of The Electric Smoothie Lab Apothecary

Continuing our conversation on Radical Healing, Food Justice warrior Kelly Curry joins hosts Lesley-Ann Brown & Deborah Cowell to discuss her new book "Until the Streets of the Hood Flood with Green" which chronicles the birth of TESLA. We speak about the importance of eating and drinking electric food, our relationship to the earth and how it has been informed by colonialism + slavery and exposing children to living foods. Curry also talks about the influence of Eldridge Cleaver on her work, how his observation of "the system organising our children into poverty" led first to the Black Panthers Breakfast programme, which the Federal Government coopted in later years. We speak about the school to prison pipeline and asks most importantly, "How are you healing today?"  To make a donation to The Electric Smoothie Lab, please visit their fiscal sponsor,  http://plantingjustice.org Please indicate in the comments section that the donation is for Th...
