Description

We are 15 episodes in and this week, hosts Andrew Gillum, Angela Rye, and Tiffany Cross start with the latest in Trump’s many legal woes. The Stormy Daniels "hush money" trial started on Monday. You’re forgiven if you can’t remember what that one is even about– we got you– plus implications for the Trump presidential campaign. Then, there’s ANOTHER case before SCOTUS this week that could have HUGE implications for Trump. 
 
For this week’s deep dive: Minority Rule. Minority rule is when a minority of the population has the majority of the power. Sound familiar? The hosts ask how a shrinking minority of white male conservatives are able to pass laws and policies that most of us don’t actually want. It goes alllll the way back to the beginning, y’all, maybe our democracy isn’t so democratic? 
 
We’re also shedding some light on the importance of Black Maternal Health Week. Black and Brown mothers are about three times as likely to die during childbirth. These are totally preventable deaths, we gotta talk about it!! 
 
As we all know, politics are everywhere, and this week they’re in women’s sports. College basketball star, Caitlin Clark, and some of our faves like Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso, were just drafted into the WNBA, and folks are upset about how LITTLE they’ll be paid compared to their NBA counterparts. It is literally a fraction of a percent, y’all…  
 
Then, Native Pod goes green as Tiffany clarifies the politics of cannabis for this upcoming 4/20 weekend. And of course, the hosts respond to your comments and questions. We are 200 days until Election Day 2024!
 
Welcome home, y'all!

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, Tiffany Cross, 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, Tiffany 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.    Talk to us: Tiffany Cross @tiffanydcross  Angela Rye @angelarye Andrew Gillum @andrewgillum
