Today's History Story: We Must Stop These Deserts From Destroying Black Communities
Hundreds of millions of people are going hungry across the world, a world that produces billionaires hording the globe's wealth. In the United States alone, food insecurity hits Black communities especially hard, depriving our people of a fundamental need that impacts every aspect of life. Hunger is a problem that desperately needs solving, and today's guest is going above and beyond to tackle this vital issue.
Jasmine Crowe-Houston is an award-winning social entrepreneur who, after years of feeding people experiencing homelessness from her own kitchen, founded Goodr, a sustainable waste management and hunger relief company that leverages technology and logistics to help its partners reduce their food waste and provide meals to those in need. She has been featured on CNBC, Oprah Magazine, Forbes, Fast Co., New York Times, and named by Entrepreneur Magazine as one of the top 100 influential female founders. She's also a children's book author who, in 2021, released her first children’s book, Everybody Eats, which focuses on character building and educating kids about food waste.

Is There Black Power In A Loaded Gun?: Ida B. Wells, W.E.B. DuBois, even Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. all have a place in one of the most obscured parts of our history - the Black tradition of gun ownership. Douglas Jefferson, the Vice President of the National African American Gun Association, argues that for Black people in America to be fully vested as citizens, we have to be able to experience the fullest freedom every single liberty granted in the Constitution - including the right to lawfully bear arms. by Black History Year
