Summary

Today's History Story: Fannie Lou Hamer Fights for Economic Justice Thanks to the remarkable contributions of Black women, who were often relegated to the status of hidden figures, humankind successfully touched down on the moon. With that single step, a world of possibilities opened up, giving way to today’s billionaires who casually embark on interstellar joy rides and invest in new ‘outer limit’ ventures. What does this mean for us, and should Black folks claim our place in the new Space Economy? Today's guest is well-versed in these matters and addresses hard-hitting questions about space colonialism, generational wealth, and what the future in space could look like for Black people. Janeya Griffin, the self-proclaimed Commercializer, is a strategy consultant and serial social entrepreneur. As an advocate for intellectual property, social justice, and generational wealth, she now works with the Equity Space Alliance to ensure that the new space economy remains diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible.
