About this listen
The system we live inside didn’t emerge naturally.
It began as a story—and that story was powerful enough to become a Constitution, a government, and an entire way of life.
In this episode, Anna Malaika Tubbs traces how a specific worldview held by the founding fathers became law, how that law shaped institutions, and how those institutions solidified into what we now call “the system.” This includes the intentional exclusion of women, Indigenous people, enslaved Africans, and immigrants—especially those who were not white or Protestant—from full humanity and belonging.
By understanding how a story became enforceable reality, we reclaim something essential: the knowledge that systems are not destiny. They are narratives that can be revised.
