Black Native Kinship with Amber Starks
Listen now
Description
Join Matika Wilbur and Dr.Dr. Desi for part two in this series, “Black Native Kinship”, a powerful conversation with Afro-Indigenous activist Amber Starks. Amber is a Black woman and enrolled member of the Miscogee (Creek) Nation. Her activism seeks to normalize, affirm and uplift multidimensional identities of Black and Native peoples.  Together we  explore how relationally is rooted in kinship,  how Indigenous people can aid in the dismantling of Anti-Blackness and how ultimately, Black liberation and Indigenous sovereignty are complimentary and not at odds.  How can we evolve kinship relationships beyond blood quantum and perceived identity to create a modern Indigenous future?  ++ Resources mentioned in this episode:  Melanin Mvskoke @melaninmvskoke currently on a break from social media.  Conscious Coils Portland Oregon space that invites people of African descent to love and embrace their hair.  Please consider becoming a Patreon subscriber: https://www.patreon.com/allmyrelationspodcast Support the show (https://www.paypal.me/amrpodcast) Follow us on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/amrpodcast/ Thanks to the AMR team that worked on this episode: Teo Shantz, Lindsey Hightower, Darrien Camarillo, Jamie Marquez-Bratcher Thank you to Ciara Sana from Art By Ciara  for our amazing episode artwork.  https://artbyciara.com/ #AMRPodcast #AllMyRelations #AllMyRelationsPodcast #BLM #BlackLivesMatter #afroindigenous Support the show (https://www.paypal.me/amrpodcast)
