Ever since I met Walter Rhein on Substack, my collaborations have exploded. Walter is incredible at bringing people together who are ready for a different kind of politics and a country that stands for what it purports to stand for. Luckily for me there is significant overlap between the people he gathers and those who hold or might […]
I met Natasha on Substack just like my previous guest. I'm finding so many incredible and insightful people on that app (for now), and Natasha is no exception! She is intelligent and thoughtful with significant experience working on the Biden-Harris political campaign (and then on the Harris-Walz campaign). I was honored to appear on a […]
I met Bob via Walter Rhein on the Substack app, and I'm so glad I did. Bob quickly became a financial supporter of my antiracism work, and we both found that we have shared values we are passionate about promoting. I was lucky enough to appear on a livestream with Bob and Walter together. Feel free […]
Millie found me via one of my recent Conversation Series events with Nick Paro. You can check out that conversation here. Nick and I delved into his evolution of race consciousness, and Millie was gracious enough to express positive comments about the conversation. That spurned a private conversation between us, which turned into a Zoom call, […]
As many of you know at this point, I'm permanently leaving the United States with my partner, Luc. I've been searching for any resources that could help me with my transition, and that's where I discovered Elizabeth Silleck La Rue and her husband Wes. You can check out their respective Substacks here and here. Elizabeth and Wes do […]
Substack's livestreaming feature has allowed many people to discover me, and this guest is no exception! Deidre regularly watched my livestreams and heard me consistently invite people to discuss their evolution of race consciousness. She took the opportunity to reach out and schedule a 30-minute Zoom call with me that was incredible. During that call Deidre walked […]
Our next guest for the 151st Conversation Series event with The Contraband Wagon is "Wes" La Rue, creator of the Substack "Diary of a Mad? Black Man." I met Wes through his wife, Elizabeth Silleck La Rue. She has an amazing Substack to which I'm a paid subscriber that's a gold mine for people emigrating from the U.S. like myself […]
The guest for this 152nd conversation on race is Patrick, one of my wonderful paid subscribers from Substack. Patrick and I have been chatting for about one month now. He is a 46-year-old racialized white male who didn't have many deep conversations on race growing up despite living in a diverse liberal town. He mentioned […]
The guest for the 153rd Conversation Series event with The Contraband Wagon is journalist, former public radio host, and current host of the "You're Overthinking It" podcast, Carrie Kaufman. It has been a little while since I've done random outreach to get guests for the show, but Carrie is a recent exception. I read her article, "The […]
Join me as Pup and I chop it up about our respective evolution of race consciousness and our experiences with white supremacy. I discovered Pup on Substack after they backed up my criticisms of an essay in the publication "Free Black Thought." After recognizing the thoroughness and thoughtfulness of their comment, I saw the signs […]
