Stories Matter. Not just any story, but our stories. Stories connect us to ourselves, one another, and to the rest of the world. Stories don't just connect us, it is these narratives that possess the power to create a more loving and just world. As we tell our stories with candor and courage, imagination, and joy, we create better stories together. And maybe one day, a better story can be told.

Black Liturgies

The word liturgy comes from a Greek term meaning "public work or work done on behalf of the people." Liturgy always referred to an organized community. A work, then, done by an individual or a group was a liturgy on behalf of the larger community. Cole Arthur Riley is the creator and author-itary genius of Black Liturgy and in this episode, she and your hosts discuss the importance of community, across time and space.

Art-ivism

"Artistic Activism is a dynamic practice combining the creative power of the arts to move us emotionally with the strategic planning of activism necessary to bring about social change. Art and activism do different work in the world. Activism, as the name implies, is the activity of challenging and changing power relations. There are many ways of doing activism and being an activist, but the common element is an activity targeted toward a discernible end. Simply put, the goal of activism is action to create an Effect. Artistic Activism is a practice aimed at generating Æffect: emotionally resonant experiences that lead to measurable shifts in power." | Center for Artistic Activism Join us for this conversation between the illustrious Danielle Coke and your hosts, Stew & Modi on the power of creating art that moves in this moment. As always, we find ourselves weaving through resilience and joy in this AMAZING SEASON PREMIERE! We're glad to be back and glad to have you at the table.

Phone Home!

"There's a reason why the first thing we often ask someone when we meet them, right after we learn their name, is "where's home for you?" or "where are you from?" We ask, not just to place a pushpin for them in our mental map of acquaintances, but because we recognize that the answer tells us something important about them." Join us, your hosts Stew & Modi, for this important and comforting conversation about what home means to us, especially at this moment.

The Religion of Politics

Religion and politics are two polarizing foundations that make up our nation, two of which should not cross. The idea of "separation of church and state" has fallen as we see religion being used as a ploy for and against laws, rights, education, votes, and lives. In this episode, we are joined by author and journalist Katherine Stewart, a brilliant mind that has been reporting at the intersection of religion, politics, policy, and education for over a decade. Join this important conversation on religious nationalism and its manipulation into our society and politics.

4th and 16

"After being sacked on third down, Clemson faced a fourth down-and-16 from its own 14-yard line. It appeared LSU had Clemson right where it wanted it, but so did Boyd." In this episode, we're joined by the amazing Tajh Boyd who lives out this play not only on the football field but off of it as well. We explore how each of us is presented with 4th and 16 moments; moments where we have to make a decision on what do we do from here? When odds are against us?

Who Will Hold Accountability?

James Baldwin tells us, "They are trapped in a history which they do not understand and until they understand it, they cannot be released from it." Accountability includes not only holding others accountable; it ensures that you hold yourself accountable. In this episode, we are joined by the activist, Nefertiti Robinson. Join us for this conversation on violence and how difficult it is to be an activist in a time where accountability falls upon the shoulders of those who may not be able to carry it.
