Love living in cities, but tired of feeling like you don't belong or don't understand why and how they work? Want to understand more about what gentrification means and how to both defy and eradicate it? Join me, Kristen Jeffers, Black queer feminist, disabled, urbanist essayist, editor, and urban planner from the South, living in the MidAtlantic, each week, along with some special guests, to discuss gentrification: what it is, and what it isn't, and how we as Black folks and our co-conspirators, can not just survive on a changing planet but thrive.We'll discuss hot topics in urban planning, real estate,  housing, and transportation and will teach you everything you need to know about complex and complicated topics in the field, so you can be equipped to help your community thrive.We are committed to justice and liberation and we hope you'll feel better and empowered after listening. Follow KristenTwitter and Instagram@blackurbanist@kristpatternLinkedINhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kristenejeffers/Join the Defying Gentrification Fellowship powered by Podiahttps://defyinggentrification.podia.com/defying-gentrification-fellowship
