More and more people are discussing the potential fall of democracy in the US as the 2022 mid-term elections creep ever closer. However, those conversations often happen in a vacuum, seemingly disconnected from issues of equity and inclusion. During this episode, Jess and Fiona tie it all together. They highlight how the varied attacks on our democracy are really about the attempts of some to hold on to power at all costs to prevent equitably sharing power with those currently living at the margins of society. We hope you join us for this lively and sometimes snarky discussion! Potential title- More Than "Democracy" Is At Risk!

Special guests, Zoe Flowers and Cassie Whitebread, join Jess and Fiona to invite you to our upcoming healing retreat. During this episode, we discuss why it is crucial that we prioritize our well-being in order to sustain the work. We cannot dismantle oppression when we are burnt out!

Mixed-race individuals (folks whose parents or ancestors are of more than one ethnicity and/or race) have a unique experience in processing and claiming their identity as compared to monoracial individuals. In this episode, Fiona and Cassie discuss the struggles that mixed-race people face because they do not fall neatly into our society's socially constructed boxes for race and ethnicity. They discuss how we as mixed-race folks can strive to fully embrace their identity and how monoracial loved ones can support mixed-race people in their identity-processing journey.
