Ep 75: Loving Out Loud w Voice Porter

Voice Porter is a poet, muralist, and master gardener, among many other creative roles. He is a founding member of Ensley Alive, a collective movement dedicated to the renaissance of Ensley, a neglected neighborhood where he grew up in Birmingham, Alabama which became synonymous with violence and poverty in the city's imagination. He heads the Color Project, which creates gardens and public art that have transformed the area into a destination space for creativity, physical and mental wellbeing, and community for residents and visitors. In this expansive conversation, he talks about his experience of America as a black man and father, exploring the exposure of willful ignorance, rejecting the language of the oppressor, wielding art as revolution, and honoring his family's lineage of growing food, bartering, and nourishing his community.
