Part of the lifestyle we live in the U.S. requires us to keep going, keep working, and not rest at all. As we wrap up our third season, we wanted to highlight the need for rest within us and our capitalist society. Rest is resistance and we need to not be ashamed of it when we rest. Hopefully you will find this episode as a motivation to adapt to rest and a slower lifestyle. See you next season! Cheers!

These past few months we have been focusing a lot on things that need to change and the problems that surround us, and that has been exhausting, especially as people of color since this is something that we talk about constantly anyways. To change that narrative for a bit, today we decided to talk about the small good things that are also happening to us. We are reaffirming the positivity in our lives even when there is a lot to be negative about.

The language we use on a daily basis has implications much larger than we can imagine. We have been shaped by the narratives of white people even when we speak about ourselves and race, and this is exactly what we are talking about today. The words we choose to describe ourselves and others can be harmful and so lets understand that and take back the power.

Have you ever thought where farmers markets are established? Why are they in certain neighbourhoods? Food sustainability has been an issue that we think about a lot and so we decided to learn more about it. Join us as we talk about how sustainable practices from black, POC, and indigenous people have been stolen and then re used by white people as their own. We unleash it all and also ask someone who is doing the work to bring it back, how we as "normal" people can be sustainable in our day to day lives.

Cancelling a celebrity or a person in power has become a part of our social media culture in a significant way, but does it help resolve the ignorance or any of the isms that the person is being called out for or it just gives them more power to be a victim of this Cancel Culture, we have a theory, tune in to find out!

With all the calls to #StayHome, we took a look at what it means to be home, within four walls. We discuss home as "a place to be", shelter as a human right, and share the work of others who are also thinking about home.
