   creative storytelling + future building through art / deborah roberts

   ICYM earlier this year we hosted a conversation with Deborah Roberts LIVE at #SXSWEDU2022 for International Women's Day. ✨🤠 Deborah Roberts, who is a world-renowned (but Austin-based!) mixed-media artist, spoke with us about the role of storytelling in telling the truth, agitate oppressive systems, and elevate the visibility of Black and Brown people in our national narratives and work toward racial equity in education. And at the center of Robert’s art is a form of creative storytelling that disrupts and pays homage to the narratives of Black and Brown people and we are so grateful for her presence in this space and in this work!

   cultural fashion as storytelling + a path back to ourselves / paola mathe

It's a lifestyle brand that creates sustainably, focuses on community, and serves to both empower and inspire women to live boldly. The combination of carefully selected fabrics, hand-sewn pieces, and cultural musings inspire women everywhere to wear a bold print, take command of a room, laugh a little too loud, and pursue their greatest aspirations. She dropped in to talk to us about her entrepreneurship, reclaiming narratives around identity, culture, beauty, and of course, the neverending cycles of becoming as a mother, a Black woman, and a creative.

   the power of righteous anger and intersectional storytelling / prisca dorcus mojica rodriguez

   Author, activist, and all-around badass, Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodríguez, founder of @latinarebels, joins us to talk about the power of righteous anger and her commitment to combining theology, intersectional feminism, and storytelling. The bulk of her work is around making accessible, through storytelling and curating content, the theories and heavy material that is oftentimes only taught in the racist/classist institutions known as academia. To date, she has participated in the Young Adult anthology "Nevertheless, We Persisted." Recently Prisca also participated in an anthology edited by Lynda Lopez titled, "The Fearless Rise and Powerful Resonance of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez." She started the platform Latina Rebels in 2013, and currently, it boasts over 300k organic followers online. She has been featured in Telemundo, Univision, Mitú, Huffington Post Latino Voices, Guerrilla Feminism, Latina Mag, Cosmopolitan, Everyday Feminism, and was invited to the White House in the Fall of 2016. She is unapologetic, angry and uncompromising about protecting and upholding the stories of Latinx communities. Que viva la gente! Currently, her first full-length book with Seal Press a subsidiary of Hachette Book Group, is out everywhere books are sold! Buy your copy here!
