Latham Thomas on Black Matriarchy, Afro-Futurism & Sustainability as Survival

Black sustainability, climate justice, and decolonial survival this conversation reframes what sustainability actually means when rooted in Black matriarchy and ancestral intelligence. In this episode of Compost, Cotton & Cornrows, sustainability is explored as care, resistance, and future-building beyond mainstream environmentalism. In this powerful conversation, host Dominique Drakeford sits with Latham Thomas, renowned birth justice advocate, cultural theorist, and founder of Mama Glow, to unpack what survival and sustainability look like when Black women are centered as architects of care, culture, and consciousness. Together, they explore Black matriarchy as infrastructure, Afro-Futurism as ancestral memory, and why care work has always been a form of resistance. Latham names how systems like medicine, media, and capitalism extract from Black communities while obscuring the intellectual and spiritual technologies Black women have used for generations to sustain life. This episode challenges dominant narratives of sustainability as trend or policy and instead positions it as a lived, embodied practice rooted in lineage, foresight, and moral intelligence. From birth work to environmental justice, this is a conversation about survival not as scarcity but as strategy, abundance, and intentional design. 🎧 Subscribe to Compost, Cotton & Cornrows for more conversations at the intersection of Black sustainability, climate justice, culture, and liberation. 👍🏾 Like, comment, and share this episode to help expand how sustainability is understood and practiced.
