Quincy Powe and Hassan As-Sidiq: Like Child Support for Homeless Youth

Hassan and Quincy reflect upon the impact that direct payments can have on young people experiencing homelessness and in need of support, including how things might have been different for each of them if direct payments had been available.  Disruptive Narratives with Dr. Brittany Lewis highlights people who are impacted by histories and systemic processes of neglect and disinvestment, but do not often have a seat at the table and may not feel seen. This is space for people radically re-imagining a path forward but not necessarily a space for those who are unpersuaded by the need for a better world where Black futures matter. We are focused on sharing perspectives that are often unshared or unheard because they challenge what we think we know. In this program, guests are the experts of their own reality.
