Season 1, Episode 1 of the Working Class Windows Podcast is here! Our first guest is Kofy Brown. Kofy is a musician, songwriter, and MC based in Oakland, California. She recently released a new record called "Child of Providence" which is available everywhere music is sold.

In this episode, co-host Rhonda Kinard sits down to talk to Kofy about what it was like growing up poor and working class in Washington, D.C. and how it has shaped her as a black lesbian woman.

"You grow up understanding about things like, you know, sharing and compassion and generosity and a collective sense of movement and improvement. Like if it’s all of us doing it, then it helps everyone.”

~ Kofy Brown
