On the show we interview Kwanse from the Pan-African Solidarity Network around this Frantz Fanon.
This week began the normal this time of year burn out malaise. The week went about its business and here we are, and I am writing really early in the morning.
Friday was the anniversary of Frantz Fanon. Fanon supported the Algerian struggle for independence and became a member of the Algerian National Liberation Front. His life and works have incited and inspired anti-colonial liberation movements for more than four decades.
Most of the time I wonder what I am doing? All this running around, and if archiving the grassroots will ever be sustainable, or at least if can develop a routine with some balance instead of going till I burn out. This past year has been amazing but at time so isolating and I felt everyone’s alienation, and that has often had me frozen. But Friday Panel, I connections in the chaos, This Panel took me to a Saturday Morning Live October 15 beginning of the Occupy Movement and discussion around Community Organizing with Luam Kindane. Please if you have time for a listen.
From this wee
k what I really learnt connections can be made if we look for them.
But I will first have to get through this day.
