EP. 14: #EndSARS and Youth Leadership in the Global Movement for Black Lives
Better to Speak: The Podcast is back for a special episode on the #EndSARS movement and youth leadership in the global movement for Black lives. Featuring writer and feminist Naomi Ndifon and #EndSARSDMV organizer Seun Babalola.
“Nigerian youth are rediscovering their power, picking up the mantle of the cultural & political resistance that in the past helped snatch the country back from the jaws of military dictatorship" (source).
The ongoing End SARS movement in Nigeria, aimed at dismantling the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (also known as SARS), has been spearheaded primarily by Nigerian youth - and especially by Nigerian women and the LGBTQ community. Due to that fact, we want to dedicate this special episode to discuss youth activism to end police brutality across the diaspora, from #EndSARS in Nigeria to Black Lives Matter in the United States. As Seun put it: “The Black Liberation Movement is global and intersectional.”
