Dr. BAYO AKOMOLAFE on Slowing Down in Urgent Times /155 Jan 22, 2020

Show notes

We are invited by this week’s guest, Dr. Bayo Akomolafe, to pause and abandon solutionism, step back from the project of progress, and dance into a different set of questions: What does the Anthropocene teach us as a destabilizing agent that resists our taming? How can we show up in our movements of justice if “the ways we respond to crisis is part of the crisis”?

LYLA JUNE on Lifting Hearts Off the Ground /147 Nov 28, 2019

Show notes

In honor of Truthsgiving, join us as we meditate upon the true spirit of giving. Lyla and Ayana unravel the great potential held within the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and well as some of its false assumptions, and propose Indigenous-led frameworks for sovereignty. Lyla reminds us that when we yearn to speak the language of life, love and healing, we must turn to poetry.
