Advancing Racial Equity: What Role Does Belonging Play? w/ Sarah Judd Welch
Enrico E. Manalo and. Dr. Atyia Martin co-host Sarah Judd Welch on this special episode of Intentionally Act Now. Welch, an innovation strategist and community & organizational designer, is the Principal & CEO of Sharehold, an innovation agency focused on people-driven change that describes itself as “Progress Through People.”
Welch starts this critical and lively conversation by discussing her love of diving deep into research “rabbit holes” and Dr. Martin follows up by talking about how she falls in love with what she does everyday. Welch and Dr. Martin then explore the meanings of “belonging,” how “alignment” figures into this concept and practice, and why it is so deeply important to be designing our organizations with cultures of belonging as organizations commit to advancing racial equity.

“I see you because I see me” w/ Dr. Julia Jordan-Zachery
Dr. Julia Jordan-Zachery sits down with Enrico E. Manalo to talk about storytelling, spirituality – in particular, Black spirituality – and addressing how power can be implemented through the stories that we tell on this episode of Intentionally Act Now.
Dr. Jordan-Zachery also illuminates for us the power of the “erotic” viz-a-viz Audre Lorde’s writings, how ancestors can guide and ground our work, and the dangers of conflating self-care with “repair care”— an ongoing, but prerequisite process to self-care.
Along the way, Enrico and Jordan-Zachery also explore how entangled any movement toward social and racial justice can be, as well as some of the pitfalls while advancing racial equity in non-extractive, non-scarcity-fueled ways.

Freedom University: Liberatory Education and Building Interracial Solidarity with Undocumented Youth in Georgia w/ Laura Emiko Soltis
Dr. Laura Emiko Soltis of Freedom University joins Enrico E. Manalo on this episode of Intentionally Act Now in which they speak about the importance of relationships in creating lineages of learning that inform the currents of our present-day understanding and approach to racial and social justice, including labor.
They also discussed human rights, the importance of psychological safety in learning, and how understanding our common history through a lens of racial equity helps us to understand why American notions of illegality in regard to immigration have emerged. Dr. Soltis also shines light on why Freedom University exists, its role as an expression of civil disobedience, and how that existence can help us to rethink our country’s relationship with migration and work.
Dr. Soltis invites us to think about what it will take for us to be “good future-ancestors” and to sit with the idea that “resistance in its most beautiful form is laughter.”
