I think that we can all safely say yes to this question. No matter if you believe racism exists or not, or if people of color (POC), and primarily black people are just lazy; wherever the truth may lie, there is still an extra layer of resistance we face before we can even speak on what equity, not equality, should look like.

I spoke candidly with Rap Artist and intellect MJ AKA Michael Jaytona, AKA Spook. An influential mention in his hometown, he brings his breadth of knowledge to the discussion on the resistance POC face in society.

Sit with us for this grassroots discussion and feel free to chime in. Please understand this is a safe space for sharing views, growing through knowledge, uplifting, and always POWERING UP! I have learned and had a change in some views through this discussion, and I only hope to continue doing so through this series.
