She's an activist, an author, filmmaker. She's uncompromising and optimistic.

From that moment on the streets of Atlanta where she gave a spontaneous and powerful

videotaped response about the economic and social conditions affecting African-Americans

to her latest book, How We Can Win, Race, History, and Changing the Money Game That's Rigged,

Kimberly Latrice Jones is one of a kind. Buckle up for one hell of a conversation.

Hey everybody, welcome to the Michael Still podcast. I'm Michael Steele and yeah, I'm talking

with my girl. I just, I was struck by her when I saw the video in which she laid out very clearly

the narrative of the of the black experience and Kimberly Latrice Jones.

She is here with us. I'm so happy to have you. Welcome.

Thank you. I feel like you're my play cousin now at this point.

Yes, yeah, we definitely relate it.

Yes, yeah. This is like your third time on the podcast.

It's like my third time. Yeah, and I'm excited for the conversation as I always am because you

have a new book out which we want to get into which really kind of grew out of that Atlanta moment

for sure. But even more so than that, the book again for folks is How We Can Win, Race, History,

and Changing the Money Game that's rigged, you really kind of lay out a little bit of the story

and that has been your experience. And before we get into some of the dynamics like Plain

Monopoly of the book, I want to start, I want to start at a point where we typically don't start

in these narratives and that's with you. And I want to start basically with chapter two of the book

as I pull it up here because it's a good one. Hood girls can be heroes too.

And it's how you talk about growing up on the South Side of Chicago in that walk. Help folks

understand who Kimberly is and what that little South Side Chicago in is like.
