Where HIStory ends and People Power Begins with Anna Malaika Tubbs

Greetings Glocal Citizens!

The final stretch of 2025 is upon us and along with winding down our year-long Glocal Citizens @‌5 commemoration, this flashback forward episode is right on time for many reasons. In her new book, Erased: What American Partiarchy Has Hidden from Us, my returning guest this week, Anna Malaika Tubbs not only prompts readers (and listeners) to connect the many dots that encircle the systems and institutions that animate the current Administration of the United States, she also proposes a vision for how we collectively flash forward and overcome the inherent limitations to patriarchy, not only in the US but globally--people power.
