From the GMB Podcast Archives (2025)

In this archived episode of The Buzz, we sit down with Rev. Lennox Yearwood Jr., President & CEO of Hip Hop Caucus, to reflect on 20 years since Hurricane Katrina and what it still reveals about systemic injustice in America.

Rev. Yearwood shares why climate change is not just an environmental issue—but a people-and-power issue—intersecting with racial justice, economic equity, and community health. The conversation explores Cancer Alley, petrochemical pollution, the push toward a plastic-free future, and how art, culture, and organizing are shaping long-term impact.

We also discuss Weathering the Storm, healing through creative expression, voting rights, divestment strategies, and the call to “Bank Black and Green” as a pathway toward generational change.

This episode challenges listeners to think deeper about justice, stewardship, and collective responsibility for the future.
