Masani joins us to community activism and how it relates to raising your children! Masani discusses the imperative needs to uplift and educate our children regarding being an activist while balancing parenting and other roles!
Masani Matthews-Bediako was the 9th of 10 children, born and raised in Joliet. Growing up during the 60s, her experience with Integration sparked her revolutionary involvement in Civil Rights issues. She was married shortly after high school and moved to Chicago. After losing her mother young and feeling like she lost her sense of direction in life, the All-African People's Revolutionary Party helped her find purpose and led to her continuing her education with a science degree all while juggling single motherhood. She has spent decades in the community organizing and protesting for the rights of Black people, raised her children and grandchildren and recently retired after 35 years of working for NorthShore University Healthcare.
