In this episode, Podcast host Jeremy Dennis sits down with Prince Shakur, the March 2025 resident artist at Ma’s House. Prince, a multimedia artist, award-winning author, and grassroots organizer, shares insights into how his diverse creative mediums—writing, filmmaking, podcasting, and journalism—intersect to explore radical histories and diasporic identity. He discusses how his activism informs his storytelling and his belief in media as a revolutionary tool for social change. Prince also reflects on the importance of overcoming self-doubt to create meaningful work, emphasizing the power of persistence and self-belief in artistic practice.

The conversation delves into Prince’s experiences with organizing, his memoir When They Tell You To Be Good, and his dedication to humanizing radical histories, particularly within Black and Indigenous struggles. He also speaks candidly about the impact of social media, the necessity of building one's narrative, and his commitment to offering alternative perspectives through his podcast, The Dugout. With an emphasis on community, resistance, and creative expression, Prince’s insights provide an inspiring call to action for artists and activists alike.
