“If You’re Done With Black People, Be Done” ft. Tezlyn Figaro | Conversate with Killer Mike ep. 57

Political strategist and commentator Tezlyn Figaro joins Killer Mike for the first time on Conversate for a fiery conversation about Black leadership, political power, accountability, and what it means to stand on principle even when your own community pushes back.

Killer Mike and Tezlyn get into the controversy surrounding Invest Fest and Earn Your Leisure, including why Mike pushed for reconciliation while Tezlyn believes some lines have to be drawn. Tezlyn also responds to Brandon Tatum, challenges him to address the facts surrounding the Nolan Wells case, and explains why she believes there are times when taking the high road is not enough.

The conversation expands into college versus skilled trades, military service, the shortage of Black attorneys, economic opportunity, and the different ways Black Americans can build power and protect their communities. Killer Mike and Tezlyn do not agree on everything, and that is exactly the point. They challenge each other, reconsider their positions, and show what can happen when disagreement is about sharpening the mission instead of winning the argument.

Conversate with Killer Mike is a Third Story Media production.
