S3 Ep. 7 | No Sister Left Behind with Former Black Panther, Reverend Cheryl Dawson
Reaching Back to Build Up
Former Black Panther speaks of her ministry as a activist for incarcerated women.
Today’s episode features a very special guest, Reverend Cheryl Dawson. Sister Dawson is a former member of the Black Panther Party and has since continued to advocate for the liberation of Black people (more specifically Black women) by serving women in prison and women across the globe.
During this impromptu story time, she takes us through her life yet focusing mainly on the needs of the women that are entangled in the criminal legal system - her story and theirs beautifully enmeshed into one. As she continues to fight for a brighter future for the women she has been called to minister to, Reverend Dawson needs our help to keep the work alive and get the word out which is what this episode is meant to do. I am in awe of her spirit, fervor and tenacity when it comes to her activism after all these years. And I encourage each of you to get connect with her or at the very least be inspired to take after her example by just reaching out to the next person you come across in need. It can look as simple as a friendly smile to say I see you or sharing what you have with the next person.
Speaking of going out and doing for others, that brings me to my call to action. First, make sure to follow Sister Dawson on Instagram. Also, make sure to pickup and share your thoughts with me on the book Comrade Sisters which you can purchase here. And as always, be sure to share this episode with a friend and make sure to subscribe to the podcast if you aren’t already!
