About this listen

 Enter a brave space to ponder solving The Cairo Question. Engage in dialogue based on the premise that dismantling racism goes beyond laws and legislation or politics or economics. It's an inside job where personal transformation and accountability impact social change in multiple dimensions: individual, interpersonal, systemic, and structural. It's a place to get comfortable with deconstructing your inner thoughts, ideas, and beliefs to examine what flows out into the world through your words, actions, and behaviors, particularly towards others who are different from yourself.

  • The Sovereign Psyche Starts in the Community - Expanding Cooperative Economics and Collective Power

    The Sovereign Psyche Starts in the Community - Expanding Cooperative Economics and Collective Power
    Jul 2 2025
    In 2025 we turn our attention towards “Community Engagement and the Grassroots of Change.”
    Throughout the year we explore the stories, strategies, and successes of community-driven movements making a difference. Sovereign Psyche Starts in the Community: Expanding Cooperative Economics and Collective Power In this episode we explore the connection between Community Engagement, Cooperative Economics, and Sovereignty through the work of Ezrah Aharone, Adjunct Professor of Political Science at Delaware State University.
    Community Engagement & Cooperative Economics: The Bridge to Sovereignty.
    We take the position that community engagement and cooperative economics serve as a bridge to sovereignty.
    Community Engagement – the intentional process of involving people in collective action to address local issues, shape decisions, and build power through participation, dialogue, and trust. It centers on equity, shared leadership, and long-term capacity-building.
    Cooperative Economics – an economic model that emphasizes democratic ownership, shared resources, and mutual benefit.
    Sovereignty – “an energizing mindset, consciousness, and thought process by which people define and express freedom through the unique particularities of their political and ideological self-identity.” — Ezrah Aharone
    The Sovereign Psyche – challenges people to reject internalized systems of dependency, inferiority, and Western validation.
    Community Engagement becomes the first step in building a sovereign psyche because it awakens collective memory and practices shared agency.
    Cooperative Economics is sovereignty in action expressed through “institutional capacity and control over destiny.”

    From Self to Solidarity - How Personal Empowerment Fuels Cooperative Economics (Part 2)

    In 2025 we turn our attention towards “Community Engagement and the Grassroots of Change.” Throughout the year we explore the stories, strategies, and successes of community-driven movements making a difference. From Self to Solidarity: How Personal Empowerment Fuels Cooperative Economics
    A Conversation with Alana Griffin, Ambassador of Ujamaa Collective In Ep 86, we started a conversation about Personal Empowerment and Cooperative Economics through the lens of Ujamaa Collective, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. The Ujamaa collective acts as a catalyst to advance Africana Women by providing a fair trade marketplace for cultural, artistic and entrepreneurial exchange through cooperative economics. In this episode we continue the conversation with Alana Griffin, Ambassador of Ujamaa Collective.
    Join us as we explore the process from participation to power by reimagining the power of we.
    The point is to shift the perspective; to take action and create new possibilties with a different measuring stick.
    Personal Empowerment begins with individuals recognizing their inherent worth, capabilities, and power to make choices that impact their life and community.
    Personal empowerment cultivates self-awareness, responsibility, and action.
    Cooperative Economics channels that personal power into collective agency by providing structures—like cooperatives, credit unions, and mutual aid networks—that allow individuals to pool resources, share risks, and make collective decisions for mutual benefit.
