Details

In the spirit of the last stanza of the Black National Anthem, we rise from the past, rooted deeply in the soil of ancestral struggles, to build a home, to claim our space. On Native Land Pod, Angela Rye, Bakari Sellers, and Andrew Gillum guide us through the political landscape, wielding insights and unapologetic analysis, unraveling the threads that connect Black Americans and marginalized communities to a place they courageously call home. In each episode, Angela, Bakari, and Andrew embark on a journey of reflection, taking stock of the news of the week and the country's road to the polls. Join us each week as we navigate the dance between past and present, weaving a narrative of hope, empowerment, and the unyielding strength that defines the journey to reclaim 'Native Land.' This isn't just news analysis; it's a movement, a conversation, and a testament to the power of those who dare to rebuild and redefine the meaning of home.

Who Actually Profits From the Gender War? | Cite Your Source
Who really profits from the GENDER WARS? On this episode of Cite Your Source, Angela Rye investigates whether gender is being politicized as a distraction, the real history of non-binary identities, and if traditional gender roles still exist. While data shows trans and non-binary people make up around 1.6% of the U.S. adult population, hundreds of millions of dollars are poured into culture-war messaging, political campaigns, and viral debates. With everyday issues like the economy, healthcare, and education topping national concerns, why has gender discourse taken center stage? Angela serves as resident fact-checker alongside an expert panel to separate manufactured outrage from reality, bringing the data, historical context, and receipts. FEATURED GUESTS IN THIS EPISODE • Soraya Nadia McDonald – Cultural Critic, Journalist, and Publisher of Soraya Press • Shaheem McLaurin – Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Therapist, and Mental Health Educator • Roxie Beckles – Writer, Content Creator, and Host of "That Black Catholic Chick" • John Graham Jr. – Relationship Advisor, Founder and CEO of UpFront Marital Technologies Inc.
