The Caucus Room Podcast
Episode 1: The Indomitable Dr. Wes Bellamy
On the first episode of The Caucus Room, Dr. Wes Bellamy discusses his remarkable rise to becoming a national political figure. Wes talks with Don Calloway about growing up with Atlanta's Maynard mentality, witnessing Charlottesville's deadly tiki torch white supremacist riot from the inside, running a modern digital campaign, being an HBCU graduate and professor, serving as Vice Mayor of Charlottesville, Virginia, Thomas Jefferson's legacy of slavery in the city, becoming a fitness influencer, founding Our Black Party, thirst trapping on the gram, his unlikely friendship with Jeezy, and who is next up in local and national politics. And of course Dr. Wes is a Nupe, so we are featuring Diggs Boys Bourbon as this week's Spirit of the Caucus.
