Catch-up with Maggie Lam of @bitesizetravels. It's been a while since Maggie was on this show in its previous format. A lot has changed since then -- navigating two pandemics, a rise in racial violence against AAPI, and major changes in the road travel landscape. Noami chats with Maggie about what she's been up to since -- navigating two pandemics, a rise in racial violence against AAPI, and major changes in the road travel landscape. Maggie & Noami chat about where she is now and what she's been up to since we last heard from her on this feed.

We also journal: How can we as Black, Asian, Indigenous, LatinX and other people of color ensure that we are not carrying internalized white supremacy into spaces where there are no white people?

Leah Thomas is an intersectional environmental activist on a mission to dismantle systems of oppression in the environmental movement. Her personal platform @greengirlleah [https://www.instagram.com/greengirlleah/?hl=en] was born out of a space that lacked representation of Black people in the outdoors and spoke to her passion of getting people started on their environmental justice journey. Her quest for self-authenticity, environmental justice and sustainability created the momentum for her educational page, @intersectionalenvironmentalist [http://instagram.com/intersectionalenvironmentalist], to go viral. In this episode, Leah drops gem after gem: how de-stigmatizing cannabis use for Black and Brown people relates to the environmental movement; how making our environmental efforts inclusive and intersectional benefits everyone; and how expanding our understanding of Indigenous land protectors makes our environmental impact more effective.

Bree (they/them) is a 20-something-year-old Black Queer non-binary nomad. In 2020, they cut their corporate strings to begin a life centered on having full autonomy of their time and purpose. Hottie, their renovated vintage RV, is now home to Bree and their two giant dogs. Aside from imagining a world without white supremacy, they fill their time with hiking, photography, writing, and documenting their journey on the road. In this episode, Bree challenges cis-normative views of identity, the discomfort of unlearning, and what it means to be intentional when creating inclusive spaces. Listen til the end to hear their simplistic perspective on how to navigate pronouns like a human being.
