#21 Sorry, I'm on a Safari Right Now with Faith Litchfield
<p>Someone reached out to our team not long ago and asked a question that a lot of people are probably carrying around: when you stop believing, where does the magic go? Faith Litchfield, content creator and professional lover of people, is basically a living answer to that question. Her entire existence is proof that wonder, whimsy, and the deep conviction that life is genuinely special do not require a supernatural source. If we know where to look, magic is everywhere.</p><p>This conversation is about what it looks like to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, from crushed ice at the gym to the millions of people in your lineage who had to find each other just so you could exist. Faith also opens up about her own winding journey out of Christianity, what she misses, what she doesn't, and what it means to be the one calling the shots for your own life when you've spent years being really good at obeying someone else. It's a good one.</p><p><br><strong>ABOUT FAITH LITCHFIELD</strong></p><p>Faith Litchfield is a content creator whose videos are meant to find the light, silly, and magical moments in her life, and the world around her. Faith strives to create community and people-first conversation both in the digital world and the tangible one.</p><p><strong>Faith on TikTok:</strong> <a href="https://tiktok.com/@faithisntcool">https://tiktok.com/@faithisntcool</a><br><strong>Faith on Instagram:</strong> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/faithissonotcool">https://www.instagram.com/faithissonotcool</a></p><p><strong>LEARN MORE</strong></p><p><strong>AHA Conference 2026:</strong> <a href="https://conference.americanhumanist.org">https://conference.americanhumanist.org</a><br><strong>For more on humanism:</strong> <a href="https://linktr.ee/americanhumanist">https://linktr.ee/americanhumanist</a></p>

#20 Get Them a Goddamn Folding Chair with Rev. Dr. Jé Exodus Hooper
<p>Reverend Dr. Je' Exodus Hooper is an arts and cultural community curator, clergy leader, and scholar, but none of those words will prepare you for what it actually feels like to be in conversation with them. Je' moves through ideas the way a painter moves through color, layering meaning on top of meaning until you realize you've been seeing the world in a shade you didn't have a name for before.</p><p>From the gentrification of Black knowledge within humanist spaces, to why cancel culture is a form of erasure, to the three values Je' will go to their grave defending, this conversation is a full-body experience. Shay walked away from this recording and immediately needed to dance in her living room. If you scooch over the coffee table, you just might dance too.</p><p><br><strong>ABOUT REV. JE' EXODUS HOOPER<br></strong><br>Rev. Jé Exodus Hooper, PhD (them/they) is an arts and cultural community curator, clergy leader, and scholar who serves in Beacon Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Summit, NJ, the Ethical Culture Movement, and other congregational Humanist spaces.</p><p><strong>LEARN MORE</strong></p><p><strong>For more on humanism:</strong> <a href="https://linktr.ee/americanhumanist">https://linktr.ee/americanhumanist</a></p>

#19 Fanta-sizing About a Big Gay World with Jack Harrison-Quintana
<p>Jack Harrison-Quintana has spent his career doing work that has shaped LGBTQ lives in corners of the world most advocates never get to reach. He has shown up, in person, in over 76 countries, building real relationships with LGBTQ activists on the ground, helping communities collect their own data on discrimination when their governments wouldn't, and working to make sure that the most vulnerable queer people in the world had access to resources, safety, and each other. His resume reads like a life fully committed to the idea that no one should have to fight for their dignity alone.</p><p>This conversation is a rare opportunity to hear someone who has seen the global state of LGBTQ rights up close and still chooses to believe in the direction we are heading. Jack is honest about how bad it is in too many places, and equally honest about why the backlash we are living through right now is not the whole story. If you have been trying to hold onto hope without looking away from the truth, this is the episode for that.</p><p><strong>ABOUT JACK HARRISON-QUINTANA<br></strong><br>Jack Harrison-Quintana, M.A., is a queer Latino activist, author, and researcher. His work at the intersection of digital advocacy and LGBTQ justice has earned him recognition as one of Foreign Policy magazine’s top geopolitical thinkers of 2016 as well as Fast Company’s most creative people in business. </p><p><strong>Linkedin:</strong> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jack-harrison-quintana-5002958b/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/jack-harrison-quintana-5002958b/</a><br><strong>Kink for Dummies:</strong> <a href="https://bit.ly/kinkfordummies">https://bit.ly/kinkfordummies</a> </p><p><strong>LEARN MORE</strong></p><p><strong>For more on humanism:</strong> <a href="https://linktr.ee/americanhumanist">https://linktr.ee/americanhumanist</a></p>
