from Modern Minorities · host W!ZARD Studios
“It's important for the community to be teaching our history — the reality with our history is we have to be the ones to tell the story.”Black History is not just one month - it’s being made every day. But since we are NOT experts about the Black experience - especially when it comes to Black History, we sat down with FrieMMds of the Pod (past guests) — Stanley Lumax (Founder of African Chophouse AND Teranga), and Suzanne Sinatra (Founder & CEO of Private Packs — to unpack what Black History meant to two folks with very interesting backgrounds and experiences - as immigrants and children of immigrants. You’ll find this one to be a very...spirited conversation that makes you unpack and question what these months even mean, or should/n’t mean to us all....LEARN ABOUT STANLEY: AfricanChopHouse.org, @africanchophouse itsTeranga.com, @itsteranga_ youtu.be/_KpbMPWNnCc Stanley on MM (2021) modmypod.com/episodes/ep-48-stanley-lumax-builds-diaspora-community-thru-food LEARN ABOUT SUZANNE instagram.com/suzziesinatra Privatepacks.com businessinsider.com/founder-private-packs-while-undergoing-breast-cancer-treatment-2021-12 Suzanne on MM (2020): https://apple.co/3sFyL1c MENTIONS CANADIAN BLACK HISTORY: thestar.com/news/gta/2020/06/04/why-the-black-struggle-in-canada-has-all-but-been-erased-two-historians-explain-our-blind-spot.html PERSON: Malcolm X - wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_X PERSON: Mary Beatrice - wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Kenner PERSON: Mae Jemison - wikipedia.org/wiki/Mae_Jemison FILM (Suzanne): Hidden Figures (2016) - imdb.com/title/tt4846340 FILM (Suzanne): King Richard (2021) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9620288 SERIES (Stanley): Exterminate all the Brutes (2021 - HBO Max) - imdb.com/title/tt8396314 FILM (Stanley): Lumumba (2000, Raoul Peck) - imdb.com/title/tt0246765 FILM (Stanley): I Am Not Your Negro (2016, Raoul Peck) - imdb.com/title/tt5804038 FILM (Raman): Summer of Soul (2021) - imdb.com/title/tt11422728 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
