Welcome to you Hide Me at Black. I'm Martina Abraham Zalunga. We are still in our

at the house series because believe it or not we are still in a pandemic.

At the House is a collaboration with the Wild Black Podcast.

Each week we invite you all to share stories on a particular topic

and publish some of them here.

Over on Wild Black, they dive into the topic with an expert guest.

Today's episode is all about radical imagination and freedom.

We are in the middle of an uprising. nation and at the

at the core of an uprising and on the heels of a new world order.

And at the core of any transformational movement is the imagination

for what a new society might look like.

That's radical imagination.

At You Had Me are Black.

We also think it's important for us to think about who we are in this new society.

Who are we when we're liberated?

When we're not fighting against all the shit

that endangers us and holds us down.

I don't know about y'all, but that's a tough question for me. So many of my values are a result of some form of oppression and finding ways to resist them.

I am always talking about some black shit.

Who is Martina if she is not talking about some black shit?

I know I'm more than that.

Then I'm more than a response to something that I didn't even create.
