This week on #STPT, Danielle Holland and Maryam Arshad discuss Amazon’s union busting efforts, veneers of progressivity and how decolonization is not a metaphor. Then, Professor, Writer, Researcher and Digital Alchemist, Moya Bailey, joins the show in conversation. They dive into the events and history that led to the coinage of misogynoir, Black womens’ intersections with both medical racism and medical advancements, and the development of digital alchemy as tools for building the world we want. Venus is traveling through Pisces, so little fishies, swim on over for love, connection and death doulas for capitalism. Show notes at STPT
