On this episode of Broke-ish, Amber and Erika are joined by journalist and cultural worker, Musa Springer, to discuss the legacy of Black culture - the good, bad, and ugly. Musa illuminates the ways that Black cultural workers can serve as powerful forces of resistance, with art as a source of education and activism. But we also acknowledge the downside of Black culture: the appropriation, the commercialization, and the insidious separation of the artist from their labor. Musa reminds us to critically interrogate the pursuit of "mainstream" validation and profit and work towards a culture that centers liberation, artistic expression, and community. Tune in and get the scoop!
