    It's Giving: Sylvan Esso

    In the first artist spotlight of the series, Ingela sits down with Amelia Meath of Sylvan Esso to discuss why she moved away from "performative helping" toward the "smaller world" of mutual aid. Amelia talks about tackling public school lunch debt in Durham, North Carolina, opens up about the pressure of social media activism, and why she traded the studio for a rental truck to deliver supplies in the wake of Hurricane Helene. “The more we can actually sit inside of our discomfort... the more our capacity for empathy and our willingness to help comes to the surface.” Follow along with behind-the-scenes notes and resources on the causes each musician champions: https://itsgivingpod.substack.com/ Enjoyed the show?

    It's Giving: William Perry

    On the inaugural episode of It’s Giving, host Ingela Travers-Hayward is joined by her husband and nonprofit co-founder, William Perry. While future episodes will feature deep dives with world-class musicians about the causes they champion, this episode peels back the curtain on their own nonprofit: This Must Be The Place. Perry shares journey from the front lines of the opioid epidemic in Ohio and a ten-year prison sentence to becoming a leading voice in national harm reduction. It’s a story of survival, the "gravitational pull" of service, and the "butterfly effect" of a single life-saving kit of Narcan. “Everyone deserves a tomorrow if that chance is to be given.” Follow along with behind-the-scenes notes and resources on the causes each musicians champions: https://itsgivingpod.substack.com/  Enjoyed the show?
