In this episode of Wine, Women, and Revolution, Heather interviews Margaret Kimberly about her book “Prejudential” Her book highlights the racist history of the American Presidency. There has not been a single president in US history that hasn’t displayed the ugly trait of racism. From owning slaves to refusing to pass anti-lynching bills, our history is dark and hurtful. Until we shine a light on the hidden parts of history, we will never begin to heal the wounds we have caused and move forward to a brighter future. This book is a must read for anyone who wants to understand the real history we aren’t taught in schools.

Oh, thank you so much, Heather. It’s a pleasure.

Heather Warburton 1:00
Yeah, it’s always an honor to have you here. And you’re also a member of the Green Party. Even though you’re from New York, the jersey greens have kind of adopted you as one of our own.

Margaret Kimberly 1:10
I love my jersey green people. I can’t wait. Well, for many reasons for the pandemic to be over. We can get together again, you’re a fun group. Also of course having the best politics ever, but very nice people.

Heather Warburton 1:23
Yeah, we are definitely one of the farther left Green Parties, I would say in the country, we’re definitely holding up the socialist banner, proudly. So your book was amazing. I actually got the audio book of it, which you narrated yourself, was that stressful having to narrate your own audio book?

Margaret Kimberly 1:42
It was fun. It was well, it was it was a great learning experience. You just sit in this little booth. And it’s it’s a funny thing, because they tell you this, you know, they have these amazing microphones, of course, and the thing I remember most from the email was they said, make sure you eat breakfast, because if your stomachs growling, the microphone will pick it up. That’s my enduring memory. And I, I said I you’re my best friend, you’re telling me to eat a big breakfast. Giving me permission. But it’s I mean, it’s all just stumbling and starting, you know, trying to read something. But it was it was, it was fun. Like anything else it took, like, I’m gonna say, two sessions. You know, each one, maybe a few hours long. Actually took less time than we scheduled. But it was, it was a lot of fun. And I’m glad it was my voice and not somebody else’s. It was fun to read my own words. And it was an affirmation. Yeah, I wrote a book. I read it. So yes. I’m glad you, you listen to it.

Heather Warburton 2:44
And you can put your your own inflection on things that maybe somebody else that was reading your book, didn’t know your tone of thought when you were writing it. But when you were reading it yourself, you’re like, yeah, I wanted to really stress this word or stress this point.

Margaret Kimberly 2:57
Well, someone pointed out to me, they said you got they said that I became more

I’m your host Heather Warburton coming at you here on Create Your Future Productions. You can find us online at www dot your future creator . com. Follow us on all the social medias and get us wherever you get your podcast from. Today. Well, let me start off first with a little disclaimer for this. I’m not a medical professional, the person I’m interviewing is not a medical professional. So neither one of us are trained practicing doctors. But we are going to be talking a little bit about street medicine tonight. And this is kind of the first episode in a new series, I’m going to start bringing you practical skills on how to survive whatever may be coming. Things are kind of tumultuous right now. We don’t really know what the future looks like there. civil unrest, climate change, just natural disasters, there’s all kinds of things that really kind of could be impacting us in the future. So I’m going to lay out some practical organizing survival. And as we’re talking about today’s street medicine skills for you guys to really use no matter what situation you might find yourself in. So without further ado, let me introduce to you my guest. They’re a good comrade of mine. I’ve known them for years now we’ve organized together Pinky, welcome to the show.

Pinky 1:46
Hey, Heather, thanks so much. Thank you for having me.

Heather Warburton 1:49
Thank you for being here. Like I said, You’re a great comrade. I love some of the work you’re you guys doing with your organizations that you’re a part of. But tonight I really wanted to talk about you’ve been trained in street medicine, right?

Pinky 2:02
Correct. Yeah. So I can give a little bit of, you know, my own personal background, as well as kind of general history in this part of the world, we’re getting straight medicine, and really where it came from, and then kind of what that looks like.

Heather Warburton 2:17
Perfect.

Pinky 2:17
I have been doing street medic work for about, I would say, a year and a half, two years roughly, in New Jersey, and you know, our surrounding region. And kind of what made me feel more comfortable slipping into that role, as opposed to other roles that I’ve had is just kind of some ancillary background in terms of just more professional stuff that I’ve done. So I’m first aid certified and CPR certified, and have done that informally as a part of different jobs that I’ve had. So that was something I felt comfortable doing, obviously, not in the capacity of a doctor or anything like that. But I felt confident in terms of typical or average things you would see within the context of protests, or, you know, being on the street for a variety of different capacities.
