I just went off on a Twitter thread about Grapes of Wrath. I mean, we all about what passes for mainstream education and the gaps that exist there, and how we're just not present. And, and, you know, one of the points that Tiya made when we talked with, you know, when, when she was on, Aambe, on the book club, was how there's gaps in gaps in our stories, and the story in our own stories. But people who are Indigenous to here also had relationships with Black people.Īlso, you know, so we're, we're relatives in all kinds of ways.

Not only are people in the Black diaspora Indigenous in their own right, in other ways. You know, this is this is why relationships are important, right?

And so funny story, Kerry, I'm reading this book Crossing Waters Crossing Worlds by Tiya Miles. Other artists to benefit from unblocking emotions this week are Ariana Grande, Mercury Rev, Lucky Fonz III, Michael Chapman and country duo Ward Thomas.So we're here with Robert Warrior.
