Ep 56: Have the Presidential Term You Organized for with Damon Turner  
Podcast: Interrupting Business As Usual
Published On: Sun Dec 21 2025
Description: If you've been sitting around waiting for liberation to be legislated, this episode is your wake-up call. In this powerful conversation, Nikki Blak sits down with artist, activist, community organizer, and cultural architect Damon Turner to talk about what it really means to build the world we deserve — not through voting alone, but through organizing, culture-making, and community-led imagination. We're naming what's not working, calling out the limits of electoral politics, and re-centering joy, creativity, and collaboration as tools for revolution. This episode is for the artists, the disillusioned organizers, the aspiring co-conspirators, and everyone in between. Because if you're tired of broken promises and performative politics, Damon is about to remind you that the work of liberation is a lifestyle, not a news cycle. You'll learn: What it means to have the term you organized for — beyond campaign season Why culture is a critical front in the fight for justice How Black art and imagination disrupt systems in ways policy can't What's possible when we lead with abundance instead of fear We're not waiting on saviors or systems to validate our liberation. We're creating it, claiming it, and building it — right now. Special thanks to Def Sound for providing the theme for Interrupting Everything.⁣⁣⁣⁣ To learn more about what you heard on the podcast today, visit nikkiblak.com.
