Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast delves into topics such as consumerism, anti-Blackness, shame, and self-sovereignty, with episodes featuring discussions on the impacts of fast fashion, strategies for divesting from anti-Blackness, radical self-sovereignty, and actionable goal-setting methods.
Interrupting Business as Usual is the weekly resource for folks who’ve awakened to oppression, injustice, and the bullshit of the status quo and are looking for ways to live, work, parent, build, and lead in more subversive, disruptive, and liberated ways.
We talk life, business, purpose, and liberation — for the newly aware and long-time interrupters alike.
If you’re ready to rise to your next level, as the most liberated version of yourself, you’re in the right place.
Let’s interrupt business as usual.
Every time the state escalates its violence, the same pattern repeats:
A new crisis erupts, people are shocked, outraged, grief stricken, and activated.
And white progressives flood the inboxes of Black educators, activists, and organizers demanding to know:
What should I do? What should I say? Where should I donate? Can you explain this to my family?
In this episode of Interrupting Business As Usual, Nikki breaks down why asking Black people to guide you through every political crisis is not solidarity — it’s anti-Black consumption.
If you are still waiting for a Black person to tell you how to act and the exact next steps to take, you have not yet learned the first lesson of solidarity.
This episode challenges white liberals and progressives to stop outsourcing the work that comes with awakening, stop relying on Black women’s labor, and start building the skills and initiative necessary for real collective liberation.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
Why relying on Black educators for constant guidance is harmful
How anti-Blackness shows up in “well-meaning” activism
The history of birthright citizenship and Black resistance in the U.S.
Why Black immigrants are disproportionately targeted by deportation and ICE
What solidarity actually requires from white people
How to take initiative without waiting for a script
Your Assignment This Week
Join an organization and show up consistently.
Initiate a race-related conversation in your white circles.
Identify one way you’ve relied on Black people for direction — and replace it with direct action.
You do not need another resource.
You need a practice.
If this episode resonates, continue the work with:
Episode 9 (interrupting reliance on Black women’s labor)
Episode 19 (challenging the myth of inherent Black activism)
Episode 16 (building concrete activist skills)
This isn’t about consuming more content.
It’s about becoming someone who doesn’t need to be handheld through liberation.
Stop asking Black people to fight what you won’t fix.
