In this powerful conversation, Dr. Assata Richards breaks down the gap between recognizing problems and actually solving them. She explains how professionalization stripped Black communities of practical problem-solving skills and why we've been taught to overvalue wealth while undervaluing labor. The discussion covers everything from the hope gap in reparations work to why children and elders are essential for building self-belief. Dr. Richards offers concrete practices like daily gratitude exercises and emphasizes that our ancestors solved impossible problems—so can we. It's a conversation about reclaiming our power through action, not just analysis. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
