    Season 2 Episode 6: I Chose to Stay Awake with Maria Hamilton Abegunde

    Black and brown women experience significantly higher rates of violence than do white women, and while all violence against women is important to acknowledge and take action on, many black and brown women have had the experience of being dismissed, having their pain go unrecognized, or being blithely told that they are strong, and can handle it. On this episode of Badass, we are sharing with you an essay that lays bare the pain and the consequences of such violence, and we are exploring how this violence has threaded its way through generations, and how we can better respond.

    Season 2 Epidode 3: Hand to Hand with Lindsay Bradley

    On this episode of Badass we are talking with Lindsay Bradley, a nurse practitioner who worked on a midwestern ICU unit when Covid-19 hit. Lindsay allows us to take an intimate look at what it was like to provide care to the sickest of the sick during the first two and a half years of the pandemic. To live in the trenches during the worst moments. To witness death over and over again, helpless to halt it.  The waves kept coming, and Lindsay and her colleagues kept showing up, despite their exhaustion, to save as many lives as they could. This episode honors the courage of healthcare workers, and asks us all to remember what they did in service to others, and how they are still carrying the weight of these experiences.
