Genesia Williams: Give Them Money

Genesia Williams, member of the Open Road Fund Advisory Committee, discusses the role of direct cash support in promoting Black community wealth, and the importance of Black creativity. Genesia reflects on her family’s life in Chicago, their migration to Minneapolis in pursuit of opportunity, and what it’s been like to realize that opportunity for herself.Disruptive Narratives with Dr. Brittany Lewis highlights people who are impacted by histories and systemic processes of neglect and disinvestment, but do not often have a seat at the table and may not feel seen.
This is space for people radically re-imagining a path forward but not necessarily a space for those who are unpersuaded by the need for a better world where Black futures matter. We are focused on sharing perspectives that are often unshared or unheard because they challenge what we think we know. In this program, guests are the experts of their own reality.
Disruptive Narratives is produced by KMOJ-FM and Ampers, Diverse Radio for Minnesota’s Communities with support from the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. Online at https://kmojfm.com/
