“We've got to face the fact that some people say you fight fire best with fire, but we say you put fire out best with water. We say you don't fight racism with racism. We're gonna fight racism with solidarity.”― Fred Hampton

This podcast is the second of a short series of how I became politically awakened and had the honor and privilege to be part of the millions of people who devoted their lives to end racism, oppression and injustice. Take this journey with your Bronx Warrior Goddess as I talk about being a member of the Patriot Party, and part of the Rainbow Coalition with the Black Panther Party and Young Lords. This series is a testament to people and a movement that overcame incredible odds, facing constant repression, murder and incarceration. We were a multi national/ethnic/racial coalition that served and protected our communities.  Hear stories of courage under fire, and how life unfolded in some of the most tumultuous times in this country and the world. And how we definitely kicked some ass! Please distribute, support, subscribe! These are also your stories! We are part of history!

“Being hungry is the hardest thing, & to this day I have prayers of gratitude for the Black Panthers, who made Breakfast for Children a thing that schools should do. We qualified for free lunch & breakfast, & without them I am almost sure we wouldn't have made it out of childhood alive despite my hardworking parents.”
― Patrisse Khan-Cullors, When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir
