pigtail & breadfruit
by vla(d)
In Africa & the diaspora, people traditionally eat & relish the WHOLE animal, from pigtail, to beef tripe, chitlins to cowheel & fishhead. They eat complex carbs like breadfruit (known in Martinique as "l'âme veritable" meaning "true/veritable soul"), yam, dasheen, cassava -- carbs that the body takes longer to breakdown but which are better for it than simple carbs like "pasta", "white rice", "pastry", "white sugar" that are sweet to taste but destroy us ultimately. This is the metaphor of this podcast. pigtail & breadfruit is a podcast about a way of seeing life & the world that is WHOLE & realistic, not always "sweet" to the ear but ultimately good for the soul & for the belly(brain). Queen Zora Neale Hurston called our culture "realistic suggestion" & she was right!

pigtail & breadfruit: AI & Our Mothers
This episode examines AI not as a thing or a problem in and of itself, but rather as an imbalance in the types of knowledge we have allowed to define what "intelligence" is. It sees AI as a system not just intelligence, but also a system of rewards and benefits that has validated and encouraged a certain kind of intelligence within the society, the education system and within us. Its opposite, the symbol of an alternate intelligence is that of "the mother", especially, the Black Mother. (Though this is not "officially" the first episode of the podcast, it is an early peak into it in the attempt to address a trending, and important topic.)
