Campaign Against Antisemitism's video: Tova the Poet Podcast Against Antisemitism S3 E20

Tova Ricardo, better known as Tova the Poet, is a poet whose poems speak from her perspective as a Black Jewish woman. In her poetry, she ruminates on how she perceives the world and how the world perceives her, which includes celebrating her culture and identity, but also having to confront the antisemitism, anti-Black racism, and sexism that comes with it. In this episode, Tova performs a poetry reading, describes what growing up in her Louisiana Creole, Black, and Jewish home was like, and offers her thoughts on Black Hebrew Israelites. _______________________________________________________________ Video contents: 00:00 - Intro 01:17 - Tova’s poetry 08:15 - Poetry reading 12:48 - Fighting antisemitism in poetry 15:12 - Being Black and Jewish 23:55 - Anti-Black racist tropes 34:22 - Kanye West’s antisemitic comments 37:33 - Black Hebrew Israelites 45:29 - Tackling both antisemitism and anti-Black racism 50:00 - How can people who are not Jewish help tackle antisemitism? 54:24 - Final words _______________________________________________________________ See other episodes of Podcast Against Antisemitism here: https://bit.ly/3GHnxPo Subscribe at antisemitism.org/podcast and send us your feedback to podcast@antisemitism.org.
