S3, E14 Reimagining Zora

This is our fiftieth and final episode! Thank you everyone for your support over the past three years, we could not have done this without you. In this episode, you will hear our incredible conversation with Professors Ryan Jobson and Jennifer Freeman Marshall, PhD Candidate Delande Justinvil, and poet and ritual worker Destiny Hemphill from Wednesday, May 3rd. We spent an hour and a half thinking together on tending to the past and honoring our ancestors as we imagine new futures. As you listen, consider: What will you leave behind for your descendants? What gifts will you choose to share with the world with the knowledge that they are yours for that reason? What will you give, particularly at this moment where we must fight for our liberation by any means necessary? And how can you call on your ancestors to meet you there and “order your steps”? Thank you for listening to Season 3 of the podcast! We will be hosting our Discussion Section on May 22nd from 6-7PM ET on Zoom. Register here. Follow us on Twitter and Instagram -- you never know when we might pop up with a hot take! Love and light, y'all.
