Necessary Blackness Ep. 33 Hurricane Amerikka w/ Guest Kalonji Changa

Necessary Blackness Podcast sits down with Kalonji Changa of the FTP Movement and Urban Survival Preparedness Institute (USPI) to discuss the importance of surviving a disaster and what are some of the solutions one can employ when in dire need.

Kalonji also highlights why it’s important to join organizations such as Mama’s Army and USPI, so that one is prepared with a solid tactical foundation to combat any and all circumstances.

Hurricane Harvey left a trail of destruction, in Houston Texas and many were ill prepared to deal with the grievous affliction of a natural disaster. As Black America continues to face police terrorism and unforeseen circumstances, we have to be prepared. The category 4 hurricane that hit Houston was another wake-up call, just like Katrina and many of us are ill equipped to ensure the safety of our family. So, instead of relying on the current administration or aid from FEMA and Red Cross, we have to build institutions and infrastructures.

We All We Got!
