A new world is upon us: one that is open to revelations of infinite possibilities. One that is abundant, free from old and limiting beliefs. Through conversing with activists, writers, researchers, storytellers, and more, we paint a world full of magic and our most innate human essence. Juxtaposing the old with new, the dead with the alive, we ground ourselves in Black Queer Feminist principles of abundance, expansion, and freedom. Join us as we uncover the green world now beginning to unfold. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/earthlyabundance/support

One Mother, A Million Saved

2021/09/19

Ida Nelson is an entrepreneur, mother, and now co-contributor of the first-ever law to BAN all hair discrimination in Illinois. This is significant as school policies policing Back hair texture, and Black hair design have inhibited the expression of individuals for generations. As our society has increased its prison industrial complex in the last few years, the policing of our school districts has right alongside of it. This has traumatized both teachers and students alike, as explained here in this article by Block Club Chicago and on the infamous Instagram page Latin Survivors. While public schools previously held a law banning hair discrimination based on texture, it did not include design and did not reach private institutions that caused the most damage to the Black self-image. One mother said she had enough when 4-year old Gus Nelson was told he could not come to class unless his twists were undone. Now, the Jett Hawkins Act outlaws hair discrimination against texture and style. Something the new charter school leader can most certainly be proud of. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/earthlyabundance/support
