Kristen’s Personal Gentrification Defying Playbook: Defying Gentrification Episode 6

Happy Friday y’all.

I spent some time this week on a solo episode talking about my personal needs to defy gentrification. My hot topic is something I’ve been boiling over for decades, teen curfews.

Also, I apologize for the rough audio, I had to do another take and didn’t realize my mic wasn’t working well.

But, I figured out how to upload the main episode feed here with a transcript! However, I would love it if you still streamed on Apple and Spotify, to continue to grow my numbers and catch up on any episodes you may have missed! We are at 500 downloads and counting with a month into being back on the podcast mic! Also, please rate and review at those platforms as well.

Finally, if you want to upload the raw RSS feed into your favorite podcast player, you can do so as well.

The Grief that Gentrification Brings – Defying Gentrification

Even though this was a rough week for me, I decided that I wanted to let you in a bit and drop a few moments of a chat on how gentrification compounds my grief. This is a raw edit with no full ad and no full segments, just me reflecting on how I've been grieving this week for years and how gentrification adds to that.Purchase from Kristen's Bookshop.org store and support the podcast!Never miss an episode, subscribe to our Substack or on LinkedInYou can also find Kristen @blackurbanist or @kristpattern.
