Reimagining the Possibilities with Junauda Petrus-Nasah
Cassandre Dunbar
Are you living your ideal life?
This week’s episode features author, artist, and activist, Junauda Petrus- Nasah. As we discuss her latest book- CAN WE PLEASE GIVE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO THE GRANDMOTHERS?, we delve into what it means to reimagine a better, more positive future.
Based on her viral poem after the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014, Petrus inspires readers to imagine a radically positive future where police aren’t in charge of public safety and community well-being.
