Episode 6 - An Ecosystem of Care (with Whitney McGuire)

“We learn to love by giving service. The moment we choose to love we begin to move against oppression. The moment we choose to love we begin to move towards freedom, to act in ways that liberate ourselves and others. That action is the testimony of love as the practice of freedom.” - excerpt from the essay “Love as the Practice of Freedom” from the book  “In Outlaw Culture: Resisting Representations” written by Bell Hooks. In this episode, we discuss community healing, technology, social businesses, honor, accountability, and design in Brooklyn. Whitney is a co-founder of a new mobile app called Greenish, a Brooklyn-based directory that aims to provide safety and agency for Black consumers and businesses. Whitney McGuire, Esq., is a mother, a New York state licensed attorney, a sustainability consultant & strategist, and co-founder of Sustainable Brooklyn, an organization that disrupts the whitewashing of sustainable fashion, agriculture and well-being in order to concretize equity for those first and most impacted by the climate crisis. Whitney is a pioneer in the field of fashion law and supports the sustainability of BIPOC artists as an attorney and advocate.

Episode 5 - Power of Lineage & Collectives (with Colleen Ndemeh Fitzgerald)

“Social business is about using creativity to solve human problems in a sustainable way...Social business represents a crucial element in the transition from our current greed-based civilization to a civilization based on the deeper human values of sharing and caring.” - combined excerpts from “A World of Three Zeros” by Nobel Peace Prize winner and economist, Muhammad Yunus. In this episode we discuss lineage, indigenous knowledge, diaspora, land ownership, artmaking, and ancestral celebration. Colleen is currently fundraising and building towards establishing a major cultural center in Liberia. Colleen Ndemeh Fitzgerald is a multidisciplinary performance artist, activist and cultural worker of Liberian and Euro-American descent. Her work is movement-based and centers women of the African diaspora, as well as her feminist, antiracist and anticolonial politics. As an indigenous African woman, she’s interested in reclaiming the indigeneity of Blackness. She has trained extensively in Afro-diasporic, West African and Contemporary dance, and received her Bachelor’s in Dance and Anthropology from Bates College. As an independent artist she has performed and taught in the US, Argentina, Paraguay, and Mexico. A few years ago, while Colleen briefly lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina, she co-founded Kukily, a transnational afrofeminist arts collective. The 4 collective members currently work across borders and cultures in performance art, audiovisual, installations, and community-centered practice. Colleen recently started her dream project to build a cultural institution in Liberia. Her artist practice is always collective, whether it’s with Kukily , her ancestors, or her communities.

Episode 4 - Support & Presence during Transitions (with Ogemdi Ude)

“African American folk healing is defined by a focus on connection with others, nature, the dead and the unborn, and a belief that sickness is caused by more than germs...treating illness and aiming for health entails a scope expanded beyond the limits of the physical self, emphasizing connections to the community and nature and nations, as well as links with the past and future.” - Excerpt from “African American Folk Healing” by Stephanie Mitchem In this episode we discuss transitions, grief, death, birth, and the role of doulas and movement in providing aid to Black people. Ogemdi is co-founder of a recently launched community online resource center called, Afropeach. Ogemdi Ude is a Brooklyn-based, Nigerian-American dance artist, educator, and birth and postpartum doula. She graduated Magna Cum Lau-day from Princeton University with a degree in English.
