Episode 13: It’s Not Supposed to be Easy, 04/16/2021
Okay, it’s not all fun and games. On Episode 13 of Sally Whoever Does Whatever, I talk about keeping people in my life who I don’t necessarily agree with in hopes of keeping conversation open to promote leftist ideology. We talk the great @nonamehiding and the work that’s already been done to promote real change in a country obsessed with violence and capitalism. I could’ve talked about it for hours, but honestly it’s not needed. We’ve got the framework for change. I also talk about my visit to my hometown, childhood photos, and trauma too. Music is HOT and hip-hop heavy with jams from Jaden, Madlib, and a southern gem, Big K.R.I.T.

A Note on Mutual Aid
Mutual aid is a network of people helping people in a way that’s mutually beneficial or takes care of the community as a whole.
Sometimes that’s giving money directly to the people who need it (instead of working through a middle man, like with a non-profit), sometimes it’s helping purchase groceries, give people rides to and from appointments, etc.
Mutual Aid has a deep history springing from the framework developed by American Sociologist W.E.B. Du Bois and the Black Panthers and is a powerful way for communities to care for themselves, even when their government neglects them.
A few orgs to donate your money, food, or time to in Detroit:
Another way I like to participate in Mutual Aid is by following people on facebook who amplify the voices of those in need and encourage direct donation. I try to make it a rule to donate to a few “asks” per week. I’ll try to be better about sharing those on my page too.
Okay, friends. Thanks for stopping by!
xoxo,
Sally
