This episode cuts deep into the cost of so-called clean energy. It is about cobalt—what it is, where it comes from, and how it’s soaked in the blood of Congolese children. Six million dead, and the world shrugs, as they are made invisible to make it easy for colonizers to raid their riches. This week's episode takes you from King Leopold’s genocide…

In this deeply personal and searing episode, I take you with me to the dungeons of Cape Coast Castle in Ghana, one of the primary sites of the transatlantic slave trade.

This week, Wounded Goose confronts the relentless ways America scorches Black creativity, brilliance, and dreams—how this country has long feared what it cannot control or steal. Through policy, violence, erasure, and silence, Black genius is too often met with fire. And yet, generation after generation, we rise from those embers—still building, st…

Millions are already suffering—families are being torn apart, and the emotional toll is immense. Without a dramatic shift, there is a very real risk of a powerful and pa…

We no longer have a visible Black Freedom Movement, and we have never moved forward without it. Until we create systems that elevate Black people, we depend upo…
