    2D AGO

    Life Unscripted - Ep 25 - St Paul Mayor Kaohly Her

    The city of Minneapolis received both national and international attention during “Operation Metro Surge,” which began shortly after ICE agents killed Renee Goode, and Alex Pretti. St. Paul, the other half of the “Twin Cities,” also experienced its own trauma by the federal government. In the beginning of all of this… St. Paul elected a new leader, MAYOR KAOHLY HER. She is the first woman, and first Asian American to lead the city. In this episode of “Life Unscripted,” ALIX KENDALL sits down with Mayor Her, and we learn what she experienced as she was coming into the job in a high pressure situation, how’s she’s pushed back against the Department of Homeland Security, in a federal lawsuit, along with Minneapolis, and her priorities for the city. Mayor Her, a Hmong refugee, also has a fascinating backstory on the dangerous situation her family faced as they fled civil war in Laos to make it to the United States. Why also did Alix call her a “badass?” You’ll discover that too by listening to “Life Unscripted.” This podcast is brought to you by…. 🛒 AKILA - Sunglasses, eyewear 💰 Get 10% OFF | Promo Code: AKLIFE https://promocode.to/akila/aklife-ujs 🛒 Cozy Earth - Luxurious bamboo sheets, pajamas, & more 💰 Get 21% OFF | Promo Code: AKLIFE https://promocode.to/cozy-earth/aklife-cix 🛒 Facial in a Bottle — by Love Indus - Luminosity Dewdrops-For Radiant Skin 💰 Get 21% OFF | Promo Code: AKLIFE https://promocode.to/love-indus/aklife-x5c 🛒 Aspire Drinks - Green tea-powered energy drink 💰 Get 20% OFF | Promo Code: AKLIFE https://promocode.to/aspire-drinks/aklife-ddk Shop for ALL OF MY Deals Here Use Promo Code: AKLIFE https://mydeals.page/1qhg @lifeunscriptedwithalixkendall.com @applepodcasts @spotifypodcasts @YouTube @heartpodcasts @lifeunscriptedwithalix on Instagram @tvalixkendall on Instagram tvalixkendall.substack.com @alixkendall.com @Pandora.com Host/Executive Producer- Alix Kendall Credits: Production, Editing, and Mixing Tom Hambleton, Minister of Fancy Noises Undertone Studios.

    Life Unscripted - Ep22 - Who Is Tane Danger?

    He has a name you don’t forget, whose unique ability to rally people together for the greater good, did not go unnoticed by “Pivot,” a podcast hosted by veteran tech journalist, Kara Swisher and NYU Professor Scott Galloway. Galloway initiated #resistandunsubscribe, a consumer activism movement aimed at encouraging people to vote with their dollars AGAINST large tech companies contributing to the #iceagents takedown of people in Minnesota, and citizens across the country. The two together spitballed the idea of having a fundraiser in #mpls to help people impacted by #ice raids who need legal assistance. Who ya gonna call? TANE DANGER! In this episode of “Life Unscripted,” ALIX KENDALL sits down with Mr. Danger who helped pull the whole thing together. Tane Danger is the co-creator of of the nationally renowned “The Theater of Public Policy, which has been described by the Star Tribune newspaper as C-Span invaded by the cast of SNL. Mr. Danger helped facilitate a major fundraiser at the Pantages Theatre, “RESIST AND UNSUBSCRIBE WITH KARA SWISHER AND SCOTT GALLOWAY” which raised money for the Immigrant Law Center. Alix and Tane discuss how he threw the event in less than 2 weeks, but also discussed DANGER BOAT PRODUCTIONS, his company which brings ideas to life through improvised performances, including his “SKETCHES OF MINNESOTA”shows. @karaswisher @profgalloway @tanedanger YOU CAN HEAR THE SHOW HERE https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pivot/id1073226719?i=1000754437229 ❤️❤️❤️❤️ This podcast is brought to you by: 🛒 Cozy Earth - Luxurious bamboo sheets, pajamas, & more 💰 Get 21% OFF | Promo Code: AKLIFE https://cozyearth.com/discount/AKLIFE 🛒 Love, Indus - Women’s Skincare 💰 Get 21% OFF | Promo Code: AKLIFE https://loveindus.com/discount/AKLIFE AKILA - Sunglasses, eyewear 💰 Get 10% OFF | Promo Code: AKLIFE https://akila.la/discount/AKLIFE 🛒 Aspire Drinks - Green tea-powered energy drink 💰 Get 20% OFF | Promo Code: AKLIFE https://shop.aspiredrinks.com/discount/AKLIFE Shop for ALL OF MY Deals Here Use Promo Code: AKLIFE https://mydeals.page/1qhg @lifeunscriptedwithalixkendall.com @applepodcasts @spotifypodcasts @YouTube @heartpodcasts @lifeunscriptedwithalix on Instagram @tvalixkendall on Instagram tvalixkendall.substack.com @alixkendall.com @Pandora.com Host/Executive Producer- Alix Kendall Credits: Production, Editing, and Mixing Tom Hambleton, Minister of Fancy Noises Undertone Studios.

    Life Unscripted - Ep 21 - Minnesota Nice - Post ICE: Delivering Love and 10,000 Meals

    It turns out “Minnesota Nice” is more than just a passive aggressive nicety from the Land of 10,000 Lakes and Scandahoovians. It’s a don’t Fu*k with my neighbor, and by the way—we know how to band together to deliver food to traumatized communities, better and faster than whipping up a hot dish on cold winter’s day.  In this episode of “Life Unscripted,” Alix Kendall sits down with PASTOR MIGUEL AVILES, the heart and soul of LA VIÑA BURNSVILLE, a church that has become a major force in delivering meals to many in the Latino community, and others impacted by the immigration raids. Tens of thousands of home deliveries are being made across the state by an army of volunteers showing up for their neighbors too afraid to leave their homes. Regular people of all ages pack, load, and deliver food orders, a system created by PASTOR MIGUEL AVILES after ICE agents occupied Minnesota. He shares emotional stories of the power and courage of so many caring individuals showing up to volunteer, from locals to people across the globe using their vacation time to help. Here’s how you can help La Viña Burnsville: its mission and programs: www.iglesiavina.org Volunteer registration: https://volunteer.lavinaburnsville.org Financial donations (including rental assistance): https://give.tithe.ly/?formId=9adcb3ba-202c-4e6e-b045-bbb8704b7164 Full announcements are posted here: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1D3aPEev2F/?mibextid=wwXIfr Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DTX_MLuAGOL/?igsh=MWN1aXQ4MDFxbm02MQ== ❤️❤️❤️❤️ This podcast is brought to you by: 🛒 Cozy Earth - Luxurious bamboo sheets, pajamas, & more 💰 Get 21% OFF | Promo Code: AKLIFE  https://cozyearth.com/discount/AKLIFE 🛒 Love, Indus - Women’s Skincare 💰 Get 21% OFF | Promo Code: AKLIFE https://loveindus.com/discount/AKLIFE AKILA - Sunglasses, eyewear 💰 Get 10% OFF | Promo Code: AKLIFE https://akila.la/discount/AKLIFE  🛒 Aspire Drinks - Green tea-powered energy drink 💰 Get 20% OFF | Promo Code: AKLIFE  https://shop.aspiredrinks.com/discount/AKLIFE Shop for ALL OF MY Deals Here Use Promo Code: AKLIFE https://mydeals.page/1qhg  @lifeunscriptedwithalixkendall.com @applepodcasts @spotifypodcasts @YouTube @heartpodcasts @lifeunscriptedwithalix on Instagram @tvalixkendall on Instagram tvalixkendall.substack.com @alixkendall.com @Pandora.com  Host/Executive Producer- Alix Kendall  Credits: Production, Editing, and Mixing Tom Hambleton, Minister of Fancy Noises Undertone Studios.

    Life Unscripted - Ep 20 - ICE and Nazi Germany Are We Repeating History?

    On this episode of “Life Unscripted,” are we repeating a dark time in history? Author Steven E. Mayer shares his family’s fallout with Alix Kendall detailed in his memoir, “My Father Against the Nazis.” The parallels of the ICE operation, and the Gestapo in Nazi Germany, have been sounding the alarm bells to many Holocaust educators, even though it wasn’t Meyer’s original intention in writing the book. He’s a consulting psychologist, and founder of Rainbow Research Inc., dedicated to helping socially concerned organizations respond to social problems. The crisis happening in Minneapolis since “Operation Metro Surge” where masked ICE agents have been brutally grabbing people off the streets, has forever changed its people, and likely generations to come. The murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti have brought world wide awareness to how the Trump Administration is handling immigration enforcement in the United States. Connecting dots, and generation trauma is what this conversation is all about.
