A cross-cultural conversation between friends, hosted by JoHanna ”J” Thompson and Diane Tate. In these times of great struggle and possible shift, we ask ourselves, why do we give a f&$k about any of it? How does the lens we see the world through, impact what we see, and what do we do about it?

    Why Do I Give a F&$k about mutual aid, charity, and trauma responses?

    Buckle up, this is a long one! J gives us an update on how things are in Jamaica in the wake of hurricane Melissa, offering resources for helping people rebuild and clean up. She is not on the island, and she shares how hard it is to be apart from her neighbors, and how we can best support through mutual aid. They talk about the difference between mutual aid and charity, and they talk about a long list of resources for folks on US territory with SNAP and WIC benefits being cut. Shout out to @so.informed on Instagram for the amazing list of resources.

    Why Do I Give a F&$k about hurricane Melissa, island living, and corporate responsibility?

    With Hurricane Melissa bearing down as a Cat 5 onto J's beloved Jamaica, she and Diane talk about island living in these times, how an island deals with this level of environmental stressor, and what corporate responsibility is/should be to the communities they impact.  Are you an intentional tourist when you travel? Have you thought about the impact you have on the spaces you visit?  Diane mentioned an interview she heard between Fiona Compton (@knowyourcaribbean on Insta) and Amanda Seales (@amandaseales on Insta). Fiona is the Cultural Ambassador of Grenada.  #HurricaneMelissa #Jamaicaliving #rebuild #ydigafpodcast

    Why Do I Give a F&$k about honoring indigeneity and being “of the land” without occupying it?
