Episode 55: “Nonpartisan Artisan” (w/ Kendra Hicks)

As we grow as a platform, we also want to encourage ourselves to do more and learn more. This growth isn't selfish; as we wish it for our viewership and most importantly the communities they come from. Local politics is a way we can all help voice our concerns and needs within our communities, while hopefully creating a sustainable ecosystem than can be duplicated and implemented onto larger bodies of government. With that being said, this week we welcome one of the candidates for the upcoming Boston City Council election, Kendra Hicks!

Kendra has been a resident of Boston's district 6 since the earliest moments of her life, after her family relocated from the Bronx, NYC.

Quoted from her campaign website, www.HicksForDistrictSix.com: "For the last five years, Kendra has been the Director of Radical Philanthropy at the historic Boston-based organization Resist. Founded by world-renowned activist Noam Chomsky just over fifty years ago, Resist has grown–with Hicks at the helm–into a leading force for racial and economic justice. Anchored by a commitment to bring the margins to the center, Kendra supports organizations across the nation in building the culture, structures, and strategies necessary to interrogate white supremacy’s impact on their work. In her current role, Kendra uses her head, heart, and hands to push communities to use their imaginations and the resources at hand to expand beyond the realms of possibility towards liberation."

We fully support Kendra's run for City Councilor, and we were very grateful for her sit down with our hosts Charlie MaSheen (also a resident of Boston's District 6) & KASH. This conversation was just as informational and educational to our hosts as it was hilarious. Get in tune as this strong Black Dominican mother, wife, professional, artist, and real-life super hero gives us a piece of her personality, policy & passion!
