Rain, Hunger & the Systems We Ignore

In this episode of TMI, Tamika D. Mallory gets real about the messy state of American politics. She breaks down how today’s leaders are out of touch, lacking historical awareness, and often more focused on power and self-interest than actually helping the communities they claim to serve.    Tamika talks about what happens when leadership fails, how society starts to crumble, and why those who do understand what's happening need to step up, protect the vulnerable, and lead with strategy and purpose. Tamika and Mysonne touch on the legacy of nonviolence inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., while also acknowledging the real need to defend our communities when they're under threat. The episode also dives into everyday issues hitting people hard, climate change impacting cities like New York, government cuts to SNAP benefits, the healthcare crisis, and the growing moral and political divide. Tamika calls for unity, empathy, and real community care. Instead of getting caught up in distractions or fighting each other, she urges us to support one another and take meaningful action.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
