On this episode, host Charise Frazier spoke with Chikesia Clemons, a survivor of police brutality. One year ago this week, she was launched into the public space after her violent arrest in a Saraland, Alabama, Waffle House went viral.
Since that time, Chikesia has found an internal power and uses her platform to raise awareness surrounding justice by lending her voice to the Equality Act, a bill which seeks to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. We talked about how she took back her body after it was exposed in such a vulnerable way, how she maintains normalcy in raising a young Black girl, who she looks to for guidance, and how she will continue to fight to take up space.
