About this listen
In this episode, I reflect on rewatching the show Snowfall and how it triggered memories of growing up in Red Hook, Brooklyn, during the height of the crack epidemic. In 1988, LIFE Magazine called Red Hook “the crack capital of America,” and they weren’t exaggerating. My hood was wild; there were shootouts in broad daylight, families torn apart, and kids like me just trying to survive. The rise of crack brought trauma, chaos, and destruction to entire communities. Let’s talk about what happened when crack hit New York City, and the generational damage it left behind.
