Lakeisha Lee: My Sister Was Somebody’s Daughter And Her Life Mattered

Lakeisha Lee, chair of Minnesota’s Missing and Murdered African American Women Task Force (MMAAWTF), shares the story of the disappearance and murder of her sister, Brittany Clardy. She reflects on the work that she and her family did to ensure her sister’s case was solved and prosecuted, and how law enforcement and the press were found wanting in this, and similar, situations.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.
