Bonus Episode: Emotional Well-being during Cancer and COVID, Black and LGBTQ Family Lives Matter

The Ash and Feather project explores how cancer affects everyone, the one who is sick and their family and friends.… The Ash and Feather story centers the black family, and allows space for that family to be comprised of gay males raising a daughter. It is incredibly affirming to a population that so often has to trumpet for equity and inclusion. In the panel, we examine the intersection of social justice, emotional well-being and mental health. The panel centers Blackness and the strength of Black leaders who advocate for families in medical and community spaces. We discuss coping strategies and wellness tips: whether that be music, spoken word, folklore, creative writing, art – here in all of us, to explore and share as we navigate the beauty and messes of life.

Episode 5: "A New Normal"

You know how things change? When something really big happens in your life, like moving to a new state or losing a loved one? There is a time right after the change that feels awkward or scary. Lonely or different. Sometimes people call that transitioning into a new normal. We want to find rainbows in the midst of gray. Let’s look together as Phoenix transitions with her dads into their new normal, post-cancer treatment.

Episode 6: "Rising from the Ashes"

When you look up at the sky, what do you see? What do you think about? As day turns to night, the trees become silhouettes and the stars start to twinkle. What is possible in the blue purple of dusk? When old and new meet? When laughter echoes down the bumpy street? We find sunsets, soulmates, and sometimes, roller-skates. It is time for Phoenix to rise from the ashes.
