Martha Wilson is back in the cypher with this timely, must read article, “What, to the Black Woman, is the Fourth of July?” Using her liberated voice, Martha brings the audience through the pain and rawness of the recent loss for women of entitlement to full body health, the continuous police slaughtering of Black bodies, and how Frederick Douglass’ call to the American people in 1852 rings true in 2022 on what the Fourth of July means to enslaved people.

The call for liberation and justice is NOW. The cypher is where we are expressive, independent, and a bit impatient as we struggle for even a taste of justice. The Liberated Voice Exchange is where you will find a symbiotic force, both the heaviness of minimal air to breathe, and the light of freedom and liberation.

Martha Wilson has once again gifted the Cypher with her liberated voice. In her timely “Interconnected Systems–An Oppressive Game”, Martha demonstrates that only radically driven, bold moves will support changes necessary to advance racial justice.

In this truth-telling story of how the family policing system is like a game of chess, you will bear witness to how each system plays a game that is designed to tear apart families most harmed and marginalized by structural inequities and racism; not support or protect them.

Martha awakens the reader to this heavy, and most necessary time for justice. MFG is proud to be a place of intentional healing for voices such as Martha’s. Liberation is calling!

The cypher is a space to show your gifts, your talents, and most importantly; to gold mine. At MFG, we do nothing without the leadership of those most impacted. Martha– Thank YOU for helping us see–the unseen.

Mining For Gold proudly introduces Martha Wilson as a premiere voice of LVE. Martha’s work entitled “Legacy of Purpose-Safe Passage”, claims the story of the lingering impact of Trayvon Martin and anti-blackness in child protection.

LVE introduces a most timely article to pay homage to George Floyd, the children and loved ones of Uvalde TX, and the countless beautiful Black bodies that have died at the hands of white supremacy systems and ideology.  The story must continue to be told. Their death permeates our consciousness. Our communities must come together more than ever before.  Moving from lens to mirror, the story of Body Is Tired, Soul Is Tired, asks of us to level up in justice, belonging, liberation, and LOVE.
