In the spirit of the last stanza of the Black National Anthem, we rise from the past, rooted deeply in the soil of ancestral struggles, to build a home, to claim our space. On Native Land Pod, Angela Rye, Bakari Sellers, and Andrew Gillum guide us through the political landscape, wielding insights and unapologetic analysis, unraveling the threads that connect Black Americans and marginalized communities to a place they courageously call home.
In each episode, Angela, Bakari, and Andrew embark on a journey of reflection, taking stock of the news of the week and the country's road to the polls.
Join us each week as we navigate the dance between past and present, weaving a narrative of hope, empowerment, and the unyielding strength that defines the journey to reclaim 'Native Land.' This isn't just news analysis; it's a movement, a conversation, and a testament to the power of those who dare to rebuild and redefine the meaning of home.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum recap their week at the DNC. Some sh*t went down behind the scenes, check out our MiniPod this Monday for the full story.
VP Harris and Gov Walz are doing their first joint interview with Dana Bash on CNN. We got questions–is this the right outlet, the right interviewer–what’s the strategy here?
Over 200 staffers from Bush, McCain, and Romneys’ teams have endorsed the Harris/Walz ticket as mainstream Republicans jump ship; Angela knows exactly how theirsupport ought to be used.
Meanwhile, efforts to suppress the vote pick up steam in Texas as the MAGA election-deniers take over. Texas AG Ken Paxton ordered SWAT-style raids on the homes of LULAC (League of United Latin American Citizens) members. Their supposed crime? Helping folks in their community register to vote…as they’ve been doing for decades...
And the NFRA (National Federation of Republican Assemblies) proposes that VP Harris is not eligible to be president, citing a slavery-era Supreme Court decision. It seems Republicans will do anything to win besides just getting the votes–they are definitely scared y’all.

This week hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum take on the LIES. There has been a cascade of falsehoods about Vice President Harris ever since she became the presumptive nominee for President. The hosts share Kamala’s real record as DA, CA Attorney General, and senator—not that the liars care. But seriously, how do we intend to counter all the disinformation??
Do you want to get involved this election season? The hosts offer tips on how to get politically engaged in response to a listener's question. They also answer your questions about Trump’s Agenda 47, white “control trauma,” and “voter festivals” to bring out the vote. If you’d like to submit a question send us a message and check out our tutorial video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/
In other news, with the National Association of Black Journalists inviting Trump to speak at their conference, Andrew gives a firsthand perspective on why diversity and safe spaces within the press corps are mission critical.

As promised four years ago, President Biden passed the torch to Vice President Harris. We officially have a new Democratic candidate for president! This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum digest yet another HISTORIC week of news and its implications for the presidential race.
Should Harris debate Trump, even if it’s on Fox? How will Democrats campaign strategy change and who should be her VP? Are voters ready to elect a Black woman president?? All that and more…
We say her name and honor the memory of Sonya Massey. We were all horrified to hear about and witness yet another brutal killing of an unarmed Black woman at the hands of the police– in her own home after she had called 9-1-1 for help! There could not be a clearer reason for why officers should NOT have immunity.
And of course we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFam. If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/

Today hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Tiffany Cross have a candid conversation about the recent political violence at a Trump rally, the imminent threat of another Trump presidency, and debate what Democrats can do to turn the tide.
We know you watched the debate and we know you’ve heard all the facts about the assassination attempt. Now we’re asking— how do we deal?? We are mentally, emotionally, and spiritually drained y’all— but we cannot give up!
Angela and Andrew debate the viability of Biden’s candidacy with Tiffany moderating (because she finds herself somewhere in between) ended up m. Angela flexes her D.C. political knowledge and drops some gems on how to turn the tide for the Biden campaign. Tiffany brings us some important news you may have missed amongst all the noise. And all three grapple with the overwhelming emotions of this incredible political moment.
And as always, we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFam listeners.

Safely Shallow or Dangerously Deep? | MiniPod
Season 1
Monday, July 15, 2024 • Duration 21:51
NLP Fam: Meet us in our Frantz Fanon because it’s giving a major philosophical pod! Some of us may be experiencing a heat wave this week, but today’s conversation about the shallow end and the deep end is only metaphorically related to a pool: Is it safer, in life and in relationships with others, to go deep or to stay shallow?
In this week’s MiniPod, hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum unpack the many sides of that question and discuss how depth can be both intellectual and emotional, and how perceived shallowness can sometimes be deceptively deep.
We all choose the moments where we reveal our depth to others, or even to ourselves. How do we make those choices?
Welcome home y’all!

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum are LIVE AT ESSENCE FEST on the G.B.E.F. stage with Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett and voting rights activist Crystal Mason. Marilyn Mosby was supposed to join for this talk about the politics of the attacks on Black women, but ironically she was barred from attending due to her house arrest…
This conversation covers historic and ongoing attacks against the Black community including voter suppression and the criminalization of law abiding citizens. At NLP we’re about taking ACTION and we’re coming at you with a plan. There is plenty we can DO not only to protect ourselves, but to move forward with resilience, and take meaningful steps towards a more equitable nation. It starts with you y’all!!
What Do Tulsa, Evanston, and Fearless Fund Have in Common? | MiniPod
Season 1
Tuesday, July 9, 2024 • Duration 22:33
In a disturbing recent trend, multiple promising legal efforts and programs that addressed longstanding systems of inequality have been shut down and challenged.
Last month, the U.S. Court of Appeals blocked Fearless Fund from awarding grants to historically underfunded women of color-led businesses. In Evanston, Illinois, the historic municipal reparations program is now being challenged in court. And the Oklahoma Supreme Court dismissed a suit filed by survivors of one of the worst incidents of racial violence in U.S. history, occurring in Tulsa in 1921.
On this week’s MiniPod, hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum discuss these alarming recent developments and strategize on the present and future of Black progress.
IMMUNE. That’s what the Supreme Court said is the case for any “official” act taken by a sitting US President. Boy are they tearing this country up.
To quote the dissenting opinion written by Justice Sotomayor, “Orders the Navy's Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune… In every use of official power, the president is now a king above the law.” Justice Soto, we join your dissent!
The hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum dive into what this crisis of a ruling really means for the rest of us.
In what is undeniably a difficult political moment, we want to provide y’all some ways to take action. Don’t become despondent!! Support your local candidates and bolster Democratic forces near you AT THIS LINK.
And of course we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFam. We are 127 number days away from the election. Welcome home y’all!
