“We need to build community like our life depends on it.”
We are joined today by awe-inspiring Nana Boakye; local philantropist and community builder from Ghana to Boulder. Nana chanelled his passion for soccer into “Kick To Build” community organization, and in this episode we hear how and why he created this inclusive community, and how diversity is celebrated using sports and cultural arts.
Listen to hear us talk about:
Community building as a long term responsibility
Race and intersectionality
Capitalism & white supremacy culture
‘Black’ v. ‘African American’ identity
Community is the answer
