Note sull'episodio

In the inaugural episode, Williams sits down with Tamieka Atkins, CEO of ProGeorgia, for a candid conversation about voting rights, economic mobility, philanthropy, movement building, leadership and what it will take to create durable power across the South.

Janelle opens the series with a premise central to Kindred Futures’ work: “I’m on a mission to continue to bolster collective Black wealth with the intent that wealth is used to finance our freedom.”

That idea, financing freedom, becomes the thread running through the conversation.

Atkins and Williams speak to a moment of extraordinary pressure on communities and the institutions working alongside them. But rather than narrow the response to a single strategy, Atkins argues for a much broader understanding of how power is built.
