This episode features Katina Stone Butler and her son Jamie (aka Miztick) discussing their innovative product called Hood Sensory - a sensory-friendly hoodie designed for neurodivergent individuals.Follow Hood Sensory on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTubeResources Mentioned:Hood Sensory websiteDenton Black Film FestivalKey Learnings:Neurodivergency refers to people who think, process, or experience the world differently from the majority - such as those with autism, ADHD, anxiety, etc.The hoodie is designed with features like weighted blanket pads, compression sleeves, fidget toys, and chewable silicone to meet different sensory needs discreetly.Hoodies have historically been associated with Black culture, from the Black Panthers to hip-hop, becoming both criminalized and a symbol of resistance.After Trayvon Martin's death, hoodies represented the need for Black youth to find comfort and self-soothing, especially heightened by the pandemic's isolation.The goal is to create an affordable, stylish product serving the Black community first while being accessible to anyone needing sensory accommodations.Having products designed for the most marginalized helps lift up and care for all people with similar needs. The show highlights the passion and care put into developing an innovative solution born from lived experiences within the Black community.

This is a continuation of last week’s episode on Medgar Evers and part two dives into his work with the NAACP. In 1954, Medgar became the field secretary for the state of Mississippi for the NAACP and was incredibly active and energetic, still having the same energy he had in college. He was involved with the Biloxi wade-in, labor organizing, and getting unions involved in the civil rights struggle. His biographer, Michael Vincent Williams, said his reach encompassed every facet of the civil rights struggle and his presence was felt in voter registration drives, economic boycotts, sit-ins, investigative reporting, and other direct action tactics. He also helped to organize a boycott of the bus system to challenge segregation laws. The boycott was a success, and in 1965 the US Supreme Court declared segregation on buses was unconstitutional. He also sought to register black people to vote, lamenting how the law was used to prevent this. In Jones County, Mississippi, the number of registered black voters went from 1300 to 65. These measures were used by white people to hurt Black people, but also poor people in general. He recognized the systemic oppression of African Americans across the country and the continued threat of violence they faced. It is further noted that Evers played an important role in the Emmett Till investigation, convincing Mamie to have an open casket funeral, which was a pivotal moment that changed the trajectory of history. The conversation serves to illustrate the bravery and commitment of Evers to the cause of civil rights, despite the fear and danger that he faced.

Emerald Garner wrote this memoir to honor her father, Eric Garner, as she feels that many people forget about the family and how it feels to grieve after experiencing trauma. She has been leading the voice for change ever since the wake of her father’s death. Her powerful and vulnerable essays call for both the transformation of the justice system and police force, as well as accountability for those in power.One of her achievements includes getting the Eric Garner Anti-Chokehold Act approved. On June 8, 2020, both houses of the New York State Assembly passed this act. It criminalizes the use of chokeholds, or aggravated strangulation, of any kind by police officers in the state of New York. The act “would occur when a police officer or peace officer obstructs breathing or blood circulation by using a chokehold or similar restraint, thereby causing physical injury or death to another person." This would be a class C felony, punishable by up to 15 years in prison.Finding My VoiceFollow Emerald on Instagram.Check out wecantbreatheinc.org and get involved.

According to the Bible, justice is not just police officers enforcing statutory law, but someone coming alongside the suffering and lowely and bringing restoration, order, and thriving. Justice is something every person is called to do in every facet of society.Are you looking to learn more about what the Bible actually says?If you’ve ever tried to read straight through the Bible, it doesn’t take long to become confused, offended, or bored.Some people, understandably, become discouraged and may even give up engaging the Bible directly, or else they may begin to treat it more as a magic eight ball, asking “What does this mean to me?”, rather than trying to understand the Bible on its own terms?”The Bible was written for us, but it was not written to us. We’re not the original audience. It was written in foreign languages, in unfamiliar genres, to a foreign culture.We’re going to look at some key words and concepts employed by Scripture to better understand what these words meant in the days when the Bible was written.And we’ll unearth new paradigms of understanding in words we assumed were insignificant.If you’re as eager as we are to have your mistaken assumptions challenged, come learn with us.This is bible words.subscribe to the bible words podcastfollow bible words on instagram Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/black-history-for-white-people/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
