    Combatting Dehumanization in our Communities and our Hearts

    Dehumanization -- depriving someone of human qualities, personality, or dignity because of perceived differences -- has been responsible for the some of the darkest chapters in the history of the world. How do we root out this significant societal problem from our communities? It begins with each one of us rooting it out of our own hearts. As we lean in, get closer, and try to understand the unique lived experiences of each person, we begin to see their choices in new light, and we can't help but discover a renewed sense of respect. In 2025, as we see dehumanizing viewpoints and actions creating hurt and difficulty for many across the United States, it's vital that we lean in, learn from the past, and see eachother for what we truly are: human beings, all created equal. Thanks for joining us for Season 1 of The Let's Talk Sis Podcast. We'll be back this fall with Season 2. Subscribe, and stay tuned!

    Independence Day 2025: Finding Patriotism in a Complicated USA

    As we approach July 4th this year, some are wondering how best to celebrate. Behind all our traditions -- family, food, parades, fireworks -- some significant questions linger. For the black community, Independence Day can call up some complicated feelings. But even more broadly this year, many are questioning what being a patriot really means in the current political climate. What is true patriotism? How do we express it without becoming nationalistic? How do we celebrate our hope in the vision of the founders and our resolve to love America enough to help it become the very best it can be for us and our children? Join our passionate, weighty, beautiful discussion, this week on The Let's Talk Sis Podcast.

    Celebrating Juneteenth 2025

While it's an important and meaningful celebration for many across the USA, others are unsure exactly what it is, why it's celebrated, and how they can appropriately participate. Especially this year, at a time of great division in our country, leaning in to understand the histories and lived experiences of others is vital and breeds the kind of connectivity, hope, and respect that is so desperately needed right now. Join us on this episode of The Let's Talk Sis Podcast as we deep dive on what Juneteenth is, why we celebrate, and how you can join in. Happy Juneteenth!

    Our American History and the President's Executive Order to "Restore Truth and Sanity"

    On March 27th, President Trump issued an executive order focused on "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History." In part, it read, "Over the past decade, Americans have witnessed a concerted and widespread effort to rewrite our Nation’s history, replacing objective facts with a distorted narrative driven by ideology rather than truth.  This revisionist movement seeks to undermine the remarkable achievements of the United States by casting its founding principles and historical milestones in a negative light.  Under this historical revision, our Nation’s unparalleled legacy of advancing liberty, individual rights, and human happiness is reconstructed as inherently racist, sexist, oppressive, or otherwise irredeemably flawed." The order goes on to empower Vice President JD Vance to "remove improper ideology" from federal museums and sites. The truth of the matter is that while America's achievements in the advancements of liberty are real and powerful, our history does also include real and painful stories of the oppression of women, African Americans, Native Americans, and other marginalized groups. We ignore, hide, or rewrite those stories at our own peril. The greatness of America is in the power of its people to see truth for what it is and to overcome and become better. That only happens when we see one another as human beings, listen to each other, find common ground, and come together to build what Dr. Martin Luther King called "the beloved community." After a recent trip to Washington DC and the Smithsonian African American Museum, we're eager to get into this discussion. Join us!

    What Can I Do to Engage in Today's Political Issues? (with Emma Petty Addams)

    On Instagram, many of our followers are concerned about what they should be doing to engage in the major political issues they're confronted with everyday online. They see things they have questions and maybe even concerns about, but they're worried that they don't know enough to do anything, and even then, they don't know what they would even do! In this conversation, Emma Petty Addams, Co-Executive Director of Mormon Women for Ethical Government (MWEG), a non-partisan and nonprofit social welfare organization, joins us to explore these questions.

    The History of Racial Terms

    At the base of everything we do is a desire to help all of us create more powerful human connections despite the differences that could divide us. We've made particular effort in our training and consulting work to help people understand how to use the most humanizing terms possible when we refer to one another. But the history of racial terminology is complicated and nuanced, and we know that many people wonder if they're doing it right or being as sensitive as they could be. We celebrate and honor that desire. In this episode, we take a walk through the history of racial terms to help you better navigate your relationships in the hope that it will help you form deeper human connections in the community circles wherever you live.
