I’m a teacher, organizer, and educational theorist living in Indianapolis.

In addition to organizing with the groups below, I co-host a weekly podcast, “Naptown People’s Radio,” with my comrade Dani Abdullah.
You can check us out here and on all streaming platforms.
Naptown People’s Radio covers pressing issues facing people in Indianapolis, spotlights stories that go untold by dominant media, and uplifts the voices of workers, organizers, artists, and all people changing our city on a daily basis.
At Naptown People’s Radio, we don’t just talk about the news; we make it happen.
Regular segments include Naptown Breakdown, Circle City Shout Outs, and Dispatches from Behind the Wire by New Afrikan Political Prisoner Shaka A. Shakur.
Brought to you by PSL Indianapolis and our studio in the Indianapolis Liberation Center.
