#NLPFam, is celebrating Black culture only valid when white folks do it? Or when it costs $500 a jacket? 👀🧥 This week, we’re joined by l.smith23 —founder of activelyblack —who recently went viral for speaking out on Ralph Lauren’s new “Oak Bluffs” line. But the convo goes way deeper than fashion. We’re unpacking Black elitism, Black spending, and why we don’t need white validation to define our culture. And we couldn’t ignore what’s happening in Gaza right now. Families are starving. And the world can’t keep looking away. 🎙️ Episode 90: Mind the Business That Pays Us (or Doesn’t) is streaming now. 🔗 Link in bio. 👇🏾 Do you think high fashion can celebrate Black culture without exploiting it? #NativeLandPod #WelcomeHomeYall #ActivelyBlack #OakBluffs #RalphLauren #BlackCulture #BlackWealth #Gaza #Palestine #EndTheGenocide #TiffanyCross #AngelaRye #AndrewGillum
