For the Ultimate Good with Danielle Coke Oh Happy Dani

According to Sharon McMahon, affectionately known as "America's Government Teacher," we each have a different & important job to do on this earth - even if you don't have millions of dollars or thousands of social media followers. In this episode, we talk about how to discover your unique contribution, how to be responsible with the information you consume/share online, and how to fight pessimism in your pursuit of doing good.

In this episode, Dani sits down with Courn Ahn, a fellow multidisciplinary designer and illustrator based in Portland, Oregon, to talk about all things art and activism. We trace our journeys over the past few years in this work, the highs and lows of creating this kind of content online, and share what others can do to support this kind of work while encouraging listeners to take the work offline too!

Do I need to speak out about every issue? Whose voices should be centered? Does my perspective matter? In this episode, Dani sits down with Tyler Burns, President of The Witness: A Black Christian Collective and co-host of the acclaimed Pass the Mic podcast, to discuss what it looks like to navigate today's most pressing cultural questions through the lens of faith and wisdom while dodging the hurdles that try to throw us off course.

Throughout the past few years, many have awakened to the external forces of injustice. But what if the key to making a lasting impact involved waking up to your own capacity to transform? In this conversation with Michelle MiJung Kim (she/her), a longtime activist & author, we discuss the real work of justice and how it involves going beyond just recognizing what's wrong. We tackle Anti-Asian hate, solidarity between Asian and Black communities, and the importance of the collective in the pursuit of justice. We also discuss her four-part framework that frees justice-seekers up to chart their own paths, and what's not ours to carry on this journey as we are continuously caring for ourselves.

In the age of social media, many of us have been wired to respond to injustice and tragedy online. For Cole Arthur Riley, her processing of such events coupled with her liturgical formation and Black experience combined to birth Black Liturgies, a project that integrates spiritual practice with Black emotion, Black literature, and the Black body. In this conversation, we talk about what it's like to be Black creators on social media under the white gaze, how memory gives us hope to pull from as we recount the experiences of those who came before us, and what we dream for the future liberation of Black people.  Let's stay connected!

Another day, another heavy headline, another rush of difficult emotions & challenging conversations. How do we make sense of it all and take meaningful action without staying overwhelmed and stuck? In this episode with Branden Harvey of Good Good Good, Dani and Branden talk about how to practically show up when the news is heavy (and when it's not!), real good news vs. feel-good news,  the dangers of spreading misinformation - even if it's positive, and how doing a little bit of good wherever you are can have a whole lot of impact. We're not just looking for the helpers – we're learning how to BE the helpers, even when things get hard. That's how we all get free.

Let's stay connected!
