Blackness 365

Audio Nuggets is back in the cypher! We have pulled from the greatness of hip hop culture in this all-Black container, where we are expressive and a bit impatient as we struggle for even a taste of justice. We are grateful to be joined by our comrade and friend, Brittany Gail Thomas for this episode, Blackness 365.

Brittany Gail Thomas (affectionately known by all as “BGT”) is a visionary leader, passionate advocate, nuanced thought-leader, and unapologetic champion for the most marginalized communities. She is a wife, mom, friend, mentor, non-profit Founder & CEO, DEIJ Coordinator, and Assistant Federal Public Defender who combines her passion for justice with her litigation, training, and administrative skills to manage it all. 

We are in a time of reckoning. There is no statute of limitation in the annihilation of Black bodies. BGT has an embodied presence and is grounded in individual responsibility. This episode is about Blackness, Black history, and the love of Black people. Every space that BGT occupies is a testament to her ancestors’ struggles which flow through her bones and veins. This connection fuels her passion for advocating for Black people and her clients in the struggle toward freedom and liberation.  The message is clear: Black History is not a month. We are proud to honor and celebrate Blackness 365!
