   Intro to Third Spaces

   Third time's the charm, right? With home and work being the two places we are at most often, there is something special about whatever your third space is. Whether it is your church, local bar, art studio, or the gym, these places are where people choose to go to enjoy themselves and those around them. Without institutionalized roles, these places typically have a healthy mix of people from all walks of life, historically leading to discourse and advocacy. Join our hosts as they introduce the theme for this year, the concept of Home. They will dive deep into what a third space is, why they are important for society, and how it ties in to a feeling of home. Special guests Elijah Jenkins and Arsima Araya will also join us to discuss their work in advocating for a third space on the University of Chicago's campus, the Black Student House!

   Community & Coalition

   Welcome back KSFam! This is the first episode of our tenth season! To celebrate this milestone, we are diving into our namesake - what does it mean to be Kinda Sorta Brown? For some of us, it is term that gathers all people of color together. For others, it resembles a personal message of a multi-cultural background. No matter how we see it, we can agree "Kinda Sorta Brown" is a mantra that projects unity. That leads us to our broad theme for this season: community and coalition among people of color. It is a great thing to learn about the uniqueness of different groups, and discuss how we can be an ally to each other. Tune in for this upcoming season to discover why! ________________________________________________________________________________ This episode’s hosts: Zara Salman, Narvella Sefah, Shanice Handley, Jordyn Smith, Mack Minter, Tanaya Vohra, Trinitee Holley, Lucy Whitehead, Meklet Demoz, Logan Toe, Myles Xavier, Faith Kumi, and Aaron Dyas Join the KSFam!
