SUMMARY:Book Club - New cycle - Second meeting
DESCRIPTION:We are back for a new cycle of the book club! We will be reading a book from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. “The Trumpet of Conscience.” As before\, we will be meeting via Discord on the first Wednesday of each month starting in October. \nWe are meeting to discuss the entire book “The Trumpet of Conscience” since the book is only 81 pages long :-).

SUMMARY:The 1619 Project - Episode 5 - Part 5 - A Commentary
DESCRIPTION:I will be watching and commenting on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/thecontrabandwagon) on this brand-new Hulu show based on the 1619 Project by Professor Nikole Hannah-Jones. We already covered episodes 1 through 4 so we will continue with episode 5! \nI will be pausing to add my commentary and insight throughout the first half of the first episode. There are six one-hour episodes in total so you can expect twelve episodes of the show on this series (not necessarily back to back though). \nHere is the show’s description on Hulu: “Hulu’s six-part 1619 Docuseries is an expansion of ‘The 1619 Project’ created by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones and the New York Times Magazine. The series seeks to reframe the country’s history by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of Black Americans at the very center of our national narrative”

SUMMARY:Conversation Series 106 - Zenith
DESCRIPTION:Come check out The Contraband Wagon\, where we’re changing the conversation on race. During this hundred-and-sixth Conversation Series event\, I will be speaking with “Zenith.” I saw him recently write on X (Twitter) that he wanted to “confront” an antiracist\, so I volunteered. I invited him to come on my livestream\, and after some negotiations about the date and time\, he agreed. He told me that he’s going to prove that I’m the “real racist\,” so that’ll be interesting I guess. Much more bloodsport than I normally engage with on the show. Definitely tune in and share your questions and comments in the chat.

SUMMARY:Conversation Series 105 - Gil Garcia
DESCRIPTION:Come check out The Contraband Wagon\, where we’re changing the conversation on race. During this hundred-and-fifth Conversation Series event\, I will be speaking with Gil Garcia. Gil is a self-proclaimed reformed centrist whose race consciousness evolved greatly through a thorough investigation of his Latino racialization and colorism in Mexico. We will discuss his revelations\, his experience before those revelations\, and his future actions based on them.

SUMMARY:Conversation Series 104 - Spence Rodgers
DESCRIPTION:Come check out The Contraband Wagon\, where we’re changing the conversation on race. During this hundred-and-four Conversation Series event\, I will be speaking with Spence Rodgers. Spence was following an unpleasant exchange I was having on Twitter and interjected with some nice comments. I invited him to apply to be on the livestream\, and he obliged. Spence realized the more he learned about racial trauma\, the more he saw parallels between the traumas he endured along with his sister and other vulnerable autistic children. We will discuss traumas of all types and have a philosophical discussion that hopely offers viewers some agency and hope. Bring your comments and questions and type them into the chat!

SUMMARY:Conversation Series 103 - Linda Christmas
DESCRIPTION:Come check out The Contraband Wagon\, where we’re changing the conversation on race. During this hundred-and-three Conversation Series event\, I will be speaking with Linda Christmas. Linda is a waitress at my local Waffle House. I always try to speak with people in my local community about race and just their lives. Between bites of eggs and bacon\, Linda and I became acquainted enough for me to learn about her family and their experience with tragedy and trauma\, her experience with race/racialization\, her anti-violence advocacy work\, and her general wisdom from living and learning. She attended my recent live event for The Contraband Wagon\, I invited her to appear on the livestream near the end of the event\, and she accepted. Seeing is believing\, and she saw me. You can see us\, too\, talking about race\, violence\, poverty\, opportunity\, crime\, and more. Bring your comments and questions and type them into the chat!

SUMMARY:Conversation Series 97 – Joshua Venegas
DESCRIPTION:Come check out The Contraband Wagon\, where we’re changing the conversation on race. During this ninety-seventh Conversation Series event\, I will be speaking with Joshua Venegas. He is a comedian who in 2016 with the rise of Trumpism recognized his white adjacency and made a conscious effort to learn more about his indigenous Mexican heritage. We will talk about his evolution of race consciousness and how he now perceives the legacy of white supremacy as still regularly active within the minds and hearts of Mexicans and Mexican-Americans. Come join us to talk about Joshua’s journey and to ask any questions you might have or make some comments!

SUMMARY:Conversation Series 94 - Bothered Boy
DESCRIPTION:Come check out The Contraband Wagon\, where we’re changing the conversation on race. During this ninety-four Conversation Series event\, I will be speaking with Bothered Boy. I recently participated in a Trans Lifeline charity livestream with a streamer named Bothered Boy. Aside from experiencing the hypnotic and calming sensation of watching a game focused solely on power washing different surfaces\, I was able to share what kind of content I make for The Contraband Wagon and my goals in doing so. My statements resonated with Bothered Boy\, and he decided to go to my website and apply! \nDuring our preconversation Zoom conference\, we talked a lot about how colorism has impacted Bothered Boy’s life. As a person with a mixed ethnic and racial background\, he has been perceived in myriad ways\, both positive and negative. Join us as we explore the different aspects of colorism\, its impacts on Bothered Boy’s life\, and the implications of his lived experience on the race conversation. Submit your questions and comments in the chat!

SUMMARY:The 1619 Project - Episode 4 - Part 4 - A Commentary
DESCRIPTION:I will be watching and commenting on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/thecontrabandwagon) on this brand-new Hulu show based on the 1619 Project by Professor Nikole Hannah-Jones. We already covered episodes 1 through 3 so we will continue with episode 4! \nI will be pausing to add my commentary and insight throughout watching the first half of the first episode. There are six one-hour episodes in total so you can expect twelve episodes of the show on this series (not necessarily back to back though). \nHere is the show’s description on Hulu: “Hulu’s six-part 1619 Docuseries is an expansion of ‘The 1619 Project’ created by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones and the New York Times Magazine. The series seeks to reframe the country’s history by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of Black Americans at the very center of our national narrative”
