Broadening the Narrative

In this episode, I talked with EbonyJanice about showing up authentically. EbonyJanice is the founder and CEO of The Free People Project and The EbonyJanice Project. She has authored several books, including All The Black Girls Are Activists: A Fourth Wave Womanist Pursuit Of Dreams As Radical Resistance. Her Spiritual Mentorship Program, entitled “Dream Yourself Free,” is designed to support Black Women to heal intergenerational wounds and prioritize pleasure. Her talks embody a Hip Hop Womanist perspective. She is the visionary and creator of Black Girl Mixtape, a platform and safe think space that elevates the intellectual authority of Black Women. She is the founder of the All The Black Girls Are Bestsellers Campaign, raising over a million dollars to mass purchase Black femme books with the goal of getting them on The New York Times Best Sellers List. This project endeavored to spend the bulk of these funds in small Black and Indie-owned bookstores and gifted thousands of books to individuals and organizations nationwide. EbonyJanice earned her Bachelors in Cultural Anthropology and Political Science and a Masters of Arts in Social Change with a concentration in Spiritual Leadership, Womanist Theology, and Racial Justice.

In this episode, I talked with Lettie Gore about Angela Davis's book Freedom Is a Constant Struggle. Lettie is a historian, professor, and racial equity strategist & consultant. She teaches history at Cape Fear Community College. Lettie is also the owner of Lettie’s History Education & Consulting Services, Inc., her pop-up bookshop But Then You Read, and her podcast “History Shows Us”. Lettie holds a Masters in History with a focus on Black American history and race studies. She also holds a Masters in Conflict Management & Resolution. Using a unique approach, Lettie combines her extensive history and antiracism knowledge with her conflict resolution skills to have necessary racial justice conversations with truth and compassion to help equip others with tangible tools to create personal and collective transformation. Her passion for teaching history’s truths and connecting the past to today’s racial and social justice issues is evident in the work she does.  One of her favorite James Baldwin quotes is, "I am what time, circumstance, history have made of me, certainly, but I am, also, much more than that. So are we all." These words continue to be a reminder and a guide for her as she carries out what she knows is part of her divinely driven purpose.

In this episode, I talked with Ashira Ali Darwish about the realities of occupation, dehumanization, and healing trauma in Palestine as well as the new documentary Where Olive Trees Weep. Ashira is the founder of Catharsis Holistic Healing, a trauma therapy project in Palestine. She is known for pioneering Sufi active meditation to help people suffering from continuous trauma. This type of active meditation draws its roots from ancestral and Indigenous knowledge. Her personal journey of healing from full body paralysis with a severed spinal cord in 2012 has given her a deep insight into the process of recovery and healing. This unique perspective allows her to offer a highly specialized and culturally sensitive approach to trauma healing. In 2021, she received the "ISABS Honours" from the Indian Society for Applied Behavioural Science for her contribution to positive societal transformation through the application of behavioral science principles and practices. Ashira started her career in Palestine as a journalist; she worked for 15 years as a TV and radio journalist and researcher for the BBC, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch.

In this episode, I talked with Sarah and Jonathan about Christians for a Free Palestine, the interfaith action at the end of this month to challenge CUFI, and liberatory theology for a free Palestine and beyond.

She is a founding member of the Carnival de Resistance and has been the Executive Director of Community Peacemaker Teams.
