🎙 [Unlocked] Building Resilient Communities with Sister’s Lisa & Sharon
This week, we unlock our 1st ever private podcast episode with guests Lisa Hurley and Sharon Hurley Hall to talk about rooted community that outlasts white supremacy. To commemorate the winter as a time of gathering, we get real about community and why many white spaces struggle with building the deeper layers of connection. Watch today’s podcast.
We look back on our chat from February just after Trump's inauguration. I especially loved the "juicy" conversation because it kicked off a day of community. After our chat, I volunteered at my first ever two spirit pow wow and met some new indigenous friends that have only deepened since. Both sisters are also storytellers and use their power of words to imagine a liberated world.
It was a thoughtful conversation that confronts things head-on, while also being joyful and inviting!
