E33 - Memory Under Siege: From Trail of Tears to ICE Raids with Hawah Kasat

What does it mean to live inside patterns that refuse to die? In this solo episode of Everlutionary, Hawah Kasat reflects on colonization—not as history, but as a living system of domination. He shares the struggle of staying informed through the news while protecting his spirit, offering raw reflections on Washington, D.C., the city that raised him and now feels under siege. From the Trail of Tears to ICE raids, plantations to prison labor, colonization moves from land to bodies to memory. Even the Smithsonian museums are being pressured to soften or erase exhibits on slavery, racism, and police violence—an act of cultural genocide that sanitizes America’s blood-soaked roots. With urgency and tenderness, Hawah calls listeners to resist this erasure, to hold grief with joy, and to root deeply in lineage.

Previous guests include: Edgar Villanueva, author of "Decolonizing Wealth"; Kute Blackson, national bestselling author of "The Magic of Surrender"; Kerry Docherty, co-founder of the "Faherty Brand"; Prince Haru, the recognized leader of the Kuntanawa Nation; and Noor Tagouri, award-winning journalist and storyteller.
