Reclaiming the Sunlight

Drapetomaniax is Liberating!
The energy generated by your embracing Black humanity in history is revolutionary medicine , sugared with Black humor to help the medicine go down. The fact that you do so much in an audio-only format is it's own blessing. You paint such vivid pictures with your vocals and story telling skills that I can enjoy learning, laughing and misting up with you wherever I am.... painting a fence, washing the cars, lawn work, etc.
This show should be required for every place of teen and adult learning... school, church, college, legislature, etc. in the world.
I just finished Michael's book and will listen again and again.

Must Listen Again

Revisado: 09-02-23

This book is well constructed, contains reams of facts to the point that you can only conclude that our present systems are fatally engineered to hide the most liberating paradigms. The misdiagnosed, untreated, coddled cancer of cruelty can only destroy its host.

Among My Best Book Purchases

Revisado: 12-26-22

At age 60, I need this kick in the ass to stop making excuses. I've passed most of the challenges I've chosen the first time. Which, compared to Goggins, means I've been setting my bar much too low. Thanks for the "morning meetings" I'm having with you and your entire crew, including Mom, Kish and Sgt Jack.

What America Needs

Revisado: 10-03-21

As a mental health therapist and trauma resilience educator, I can become bogged down with experiences of human injury, even though I love the people, the work and the science. How We Show Up is the blast of courage and authenticity that I need to inform and fortify my soul. This book is where I want to live. Birdsong called me to task so many times I lost count. How Birdsong shows up certainly authorizes her to do so. Gotta go. I'm about to read it again.

Greed and Racism are killing us all

Revisado: 04-24-21

In the effort to reverse the spell of self-destruction, The Sum of Us should be required reading for every year of every curriculum, K thru PhD.

Wonderful Narration and Perspective

Revisado: 06-13-20

The narration is crisp AND rich, qualities that are sometimes considered incongruent with African American voices. Tift's work is precise and lends very well to increasing the speed of play back. I listen to audio at up to 3x normal and Tift is clearly understandable and heartfelt.

Morris' work is vital to confronting America's creation of the lens through which we see African American girls. As the African American people are continuously omitted from the public school storytelling of "American History," African American girls are viewed absent of the context of Ida B Wells, Maggie Lena Walker and hundreds, if not thousands, of African American women and girls.

Americans are left with the exploitative lens that our original human traffickers created to justify the selling and raping of African American women and children.

I look forward to listening to Pushout numerous times to help cleanse my psyche of malicious miseducation about African American girls.
Grateful.
