This is a re-play of an episode of our interview with Sunni and Lisa Propaganda about his book, Terraform: Building a Better World  From https://www.prophiphop.com:  …a poet, political activist, husband, father, academic & emcee  With LA flowing through his veins & armed with a bold message, Propaganda has assembled a body of work that challenges and guides.  Propaganda’s ideas stem from where he sits at the intersection. He sees how cultures cross and inspire one another, and can see the oneness of us all. Propaganda will cause you to nod your head, but more importantly he will stretch your mind & heart.    Book description:  Terraform: Building a Better World In this debut collection of essays and poetry, musician, speaker, and activist Propaganda inspires us to create a better, more equitable world. “If we get to make the very cultures that shape who we are, then let us remake them in the best way possible.” In this deep, challenging, and thoughtful book, Propaganda looks at the ways in which our world is broken. Using the metaphor of terraforming—creating a livable world out of an inhospitable one—he shows how we can begin to reshape our homes, friendships, communities, and politics. In this transformative time—when we are redefining what a truly just and equitable world looks like, and reflecting on the work that needs to be done both in our spiritual and secular lives—Propaganda rallies readers to create that just world. He sheds light on how nefarious origin stories have skewed our views of ourselves and others and allowed gross injustices, and demonstrates how great storytelling and excellent art can create and shape new perspectives of the world and make all of us better.
