The Drip

The Drip A Canadian weekly podcast for millennials about the decisions being made by our political leaders during a racial revolution. In April 2020, Patience E.

Adamu and Kurtis Vermont launched "The Drip: A podcast about political decision making during a state of emergency", because they are passionate about public policy and found that multicultural millennials were undeserved by traditional media when discussing Canadian politics. This prompted them to build a culturally appropriate space that educates and informs--especially during a pandemic. In Jun

e 2020, George Floyd’s death sparked a racial revolution the world over, forcing them to pivot. Now Kurtis and Patience assess the decisions being made by our political leaders through the lens of anti-Black racism. This distinctly Canadian podcast is released every Monday and is broken up into five segments:

Segment 1: Canadian Politics (an analysis of Canadian political decision making in Ottawa and select provinces). Segment 2: Canadian Economy (an analysis of the Canadian economy based on headlines in a given week)

Segment 3: Blackity Black Black (Addressing issues specific to the Black community, ranging from politics to pop culture)

Segment 4: The World (recognizing that Black people in the GTA come from all over the world, we know that world issues are relevant to our audience as they likely have family members in the Caribbean, Asia, Africa and elsewhere). Segment 5: Questions for the Audience (based on stories in the media or the experiences of others). In February 2021, The Drip ranked 2nd on Apple Podcast's Canada: Government Chart. In March 2021, The Drip ranked 4th on a Buzzfeed list of "21 Audiobooks And Podcasts by Black Canadians You Have To Listen To", from memoirs and fiction to pop culture and politics.

Far more than a rags to riches story, Wes Hall’s book, No Bootstraps When You’re Barefoot, is a transparent memoir that highlights the absurd hurdles that many Black and racialized people must leap over on a regular basis, arguing that these hardships shouldn’t exist in the first place.

He’s refreshingly real about his experiences with poverty, abuse, abandonment and systemic racism, but he also leans on themes of love, his faith in God, resilience and self-confidence to demonstrate that our hardships need not dictate our mindset.

An eminent Black leader in Canada’s business sector, Wes also uses the book as a gentle but firm call to action to corporate Canada to match their actions with their rhetoric, by seeking untapped, but qualified Black talent and hiring us in proportional rates to the population.
