Kristen’s Personal Gentrification Defying Playbook: Defying Gentrification Episode 6 | The Black Urbanist

Happy Friday y’all.

I spent some time this week on a solo episode talking about my personal needs to defy gentrification. My hot topic is something I’ve been boiling over for decades, teen curfews.

Also, I apologize for the rough audio, I had to do another take and didn’t realize my mic wasn’t working well.

But, I figured out how to upload the main episode feed here with a transcript! However, I would love it if you still streamed on Apple and Spotify, to continue to grow my numbers and catch up on any episodes you may have missed! We are at 500 downloads and counting with a month into being back on the podcast mic! Also, please rate and review at those platforms as well.

Finally, if you want to upload the raw RSS feed into your favorite podcast player, you can do so as well.
