Ep. 7 | Olinka Green: Living Dallas Racism and the Legacy of the Black Panthers
"If you live for the people, you gotta die for the people."
Episode 7
In this episode, I talk to Olinka Green, longtime social justice activist in Dallas.
Most of us never realize how personal history and deep-rooted activism shape the fight for justice. Olinka’s story reveals the raw truth of a life driven by childhood trauma, relentless resilience, and a unwavering commitment to community liberation. From witnessing violence at a young age to leading environmental justice tours and growing her own food, her journey serves as a powerful testament to how individual pain fuels collective change.
I have to say, this was also a really fun episode to record. I was desperately trying not to burst out laughing during some of the segments. If you’re not into cuss words and shit like that, this might not be for you. But below is one such segment, discussing the relationship between Martin Luther King and Jesse Jackson. Jesse was stressing his ass!
Thank you, Olinka!
