From systemic injustice to internalized oppression, apathy, and trauma, Shadiin Garcia, Delma Jackson, and guests will pull back the layers of struggle within social progress, and dream together, even as we remind one another that our personal tragedies, triumphs, and healing will inform our ability to create a better world.
If you love the idea of building intentional community, If you love history and pop-culture, If you want to dream into a society where intersectionality is baked into the culture, The Dive-In-Justice POD is for YOU.
As we finally close the season, Shadiin both apologizes AND blames Delma for being at fault for this episode taking soooo long to record/post...
Delma checks in about Christmas covid, working in a predominantly white institution (PWIs) and what it's like to navigate these spaces. He gives a shout to Corporate Erin and #NonProfitBoss (https://www.tiktok.com/@lisabevolving/video/7316388212489047342?lang=en) for giving voice to the strangeness of the culture.
Shadiin and Delma reflect on how we choose to engage with the heaviness of the conflict in Gaza and how we decide when to do so v not. We leverage that conversation to look at what it means to have the privilege to "look away."
Shadiin discusses reuniting with family for land rematriation and all the beauty the process brought up even as they collectively mourned the passing of an uncle.
The duo then reflect on season 3's themes around the tension between our values and our money and the various lessons learned by our powerful and committed guests.
Thanks SO MUCH for taking this journey with us. Look for us to return with SEASON 4: LOVE, in late April!

An Empty Swing, by Samara Gaev
We have something special to share with you this week. This is the audio version of an essay, written by one of our collective members at the Center for Whole Communities, Samara Gaev. We simply invite you to close your eyes and take this in when you have the time, and listen as Samara gives voice to the tender reality of what it’s like to bring young ones into this world in a time of conflict, trauma, and chaos. You can also find the written version here (https://wholecommunities.org/an-empty-swing/). And if you would like to contribute to CWC's winter fundraising campaign, and support our collective transition, you can donate here (https://wholecommunities.org/contribute/).
The accompanying music for this piece is Compassion, by Cellomano.

DIJ S3 E11: Freedom, Money, Surviving, and Recovering w Kellie Richardson
Thank you for your patience faithful listener!
This week, Shadiin opens up by saying the quiet part out loud and admits she loves to hear Delma stumble over pronunciations.
Delma checks in about what it means to respond to the world around us based on perceived racial identity and gender and how we potentially replicate the very systems we seek to change. Shadiin reflects on the pride she feels in watching her children become "good humans" in this world. She also discusses the way recent events and triggered her anger and how she's managing (or not) to move with it.
After the break, our fearless hosts welcome back poet, activist, educator, and facilitator Kellie Richardson (https://bluecactuspress.com/?s=kellie+richardson) who's work center's Black humanity as sacred, divine, and worthy. Kellie joins us to talk about surviving cancer, making a living, living life, and what it means to tell her story in predominantly white institutions and spaces in everything from health care, to art.
