Abstract

This episode of "Like It Is" features Yolanda King and Attallah Shabazz discussing their efforts to promote positive change through theater, education, and community engagement. They emphasize the importance of overcoming differences, understanding their fathers’ legacies—Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X—and uniting their visions for a better future. Both women share their goals of continuing social activism, education, and empowering youth, with Yolanda focusing on preserving her father’s legacy and community work, and Attallah dreaming of establishing a school to foster self-awareness and giving back. Their conversations highlight the strength found in unity, heritage, and committed service to their communities.
