We Need Emotional Reparations Ep. 5

On this episode, we explore the effects of the lack of youth engaged in the work needed to conquer the constant negative narrative of the city. We get into the complex conversation of the importance of different voices and leadership due to the lack of change while the familiar characters keep holding the positions of power and have done little to change the reality for the folks in the trenches of poverty. 

More questions are brought into the conversation around black excellence vs black capitalism and how do we create a community owned supply chain. 

Loiter is launching a speaker series to hold Critical Community Conversations in partnership with The East Cleveland Public Library. The negative stories keep flooding local media about how "bad" East Cleveland is while our collective internal narrative expresses the same tropes that fuel our inability to move towards progress.
