This was previously exclusive to my now defunct Patreon and was private. I’ve decided to make this public. This is the video footage of my Episode 21 podcast interview with activist, journalist, and rapper Awkword. We discuss his new tune “Ten Demands (featuring Jesse Jett)’ and his work with the Ten Demands for Justice initiative which provides a roadmap towards abolition. We also discuss how he views music as an extension of his activism and how rap and punk music saved his life. It was originally posted on October 12, 2020. Will be posting additional videos from the archives in the coming days.
