Low Pitch: Black Spirituality and the Limits of Progress
In this episode of The Black Sub-World Podcast, host DeWayne R. Stallworth returns from a spiritual sabbatical to unpack what he calls the “low pitch” of Black life today. From poisoned food and music to compromised politics and clergy to the ongoing commodification of Black bodies under capitalism, Stallworth explores why our collective vibration remains muted. Drawing on ancestral wisdom, African spiritual science, and the power of Black music—from Sam Cooke to Kendrick Lamar—this episode calls for a new generation of spiritually educated leaders who can guide us beyond distraction and illusion toward true liberation.
