6: The Children of the Pandemic

A devastating truth that cannot be ignored any longer is that the Black and Brown kids of New York City are not alright. During the coronavirus pandemic, the schools are closed, the libraries are closed, the afterschool programs are defunded, and the poorest children of the city are footing the bill. Our host Branden Janese interviews four New Yorkers who have dedicated their lives to uplifting the forgotten kids of New York City.

On the upcoming season of Sick Empire you’ll hear Branden Janese ask critical questions surrounding Black trauma and centering conversations around healing. What does the path to freedom in healthcare look like for all Black Americans?
Season One of Sick Empire exposed the social ills highlighted by the coronavirus. Now, Season Two will focus on the healing steps. Our new season will highlight the ways to heal Black trauma, as well as the history behind Black folx and their forms of healing. We will feature the voices of holistic healers, root workers, doulas, Black financial health experts, nutritionists, prison abolitionists, historians and folx who specialize in treating Black American mental health.
