Penny Hess with Chairman Omali Yeshitela

Belief-Shaking Conversation with Penny Hess

This week’s show stirred a lot of emotion and to be honest with you all, it should. The African community has suffered at the hands of their European counterparts for so long, that it raises so many questions like, “Should White people step aside and let Black people build without hinderance?” or “Can we trust White people who say they are fighting on the side of justice for all Black people?”

Insert our guest, Penny Hess. She’s been fighting for the African cause for nearly 3 decades and Hear 2 Help You is so grateful that she was able to take time out of her busy schedule to sit down with us.

Penny discusses her first encounter with Chairman Omali Yeshitela from the African People’s Socialist Party, reparations and the All Diamonds are Blood Diamonds Tour.

With an open heart and an open mind, enjoy this thought provoking conversation with this Freedom Fighter.

A bit about Penny…

Penny Hess is the chairwoman of the African People’s Solidarity Committee (APSC), the organization of white people working in white communities under the leadership of Chairman Omali Yeshitela and the African People’s Socialist Party. She has been a member of APSC since its founding by the Party in September of 1976.

APSC wins other white people to embrace the understandings of African Internationalism that all white people sit on a social pedestal of the oppression of African and other colonized peoples based on the slavery, genocide and colonialism that is the foundation of the capitalist system.

APSC organizes white people to participate in building the movement of white reparations to African people.

Under Hess’s leadership the solidarity committee built successful economic Reparations institutions as fundraisers for the work of the African People’s Socialist Party. These institutions include Uhuru Foods and Pies and the Uhuru Furniture Stores, institutions that are today under the direct control of the Party’s Black Star industries and the nonprofit African People’s Education and Defense Fund.
