Welcome to the Piña Soul Podcast with Dr. Jessica Hernandez.
Today’s episode features a powerful conversation with Dr. Kyle Mays, an Afro-Indigenous writer and scholar whose work explores U.S. history, urban studies, race relations, and contemporary popular culture.
Dr. Mays joins us to discuss themes from his forthcoming book, When We Are Kin: The History and Future of Afro‑Indigenous Solidarity, a timely and deeply needed examination of shared histories, resistance, and coalition-building across Afro‑Indigenous communities.
The book is set to release on May 26, and it is available for pre‑order now. This conversation invites us to rethink kinship, solidarity, and the futures we build together.
Let’s get into it.
