In this episode of the special YOU Better! Take Action Series for Summer 2022, Kiesha Garrison continues her journey of getting informed & inspired to take action for social change. In this episode she shares what she learned from the story of Kerry Coddett, a leader of today who is making a difference in the area of Black economic empowerment with her work launching Kwanzaa Crawl in Brooklyn & Harlem.
Most Black people, despite our ingenuity, still have to push through a wall of distrust, opposition and financial impediment that was built at the base of our family trees from the beginning. In this episode from the Take Action Series, Kiesha focuses on learning from work of Kerry Coddett, an activist and multi-hyphenate creative in NYC, who is doing her part to chip away at that wall. Kerry and her sister have showed moxie and creativity in designing and running a pub crawl with an aim to demonstrate black buying power, support the local black economy, and honor the seven principles of Kwanzaa.
