Episode description

Patrice & Stacey welcome in Robert Jackson, an afrofuturist & poet, as he reflects on his personal story of loneliness and the importance of collective memory. Jackson emphasizes the power of shared memories in fostering community and identity. He speaks about how holding on to family stories that helped him break his isolation and inspired his work for Remembrance Day, a concept aimed at elevating elders and creating mutual holidays for collective remembrance.
