What’s the power of a name? Today’s episode explores the impact of the names colonial powers gave to various indigenous groups around the world and the ripple effects still felt today. All of the examples came from different experiences I had recently, and I noticed a common thread worth exploring. Join me as I talk about the Maya, the Maori, and the Tupi and how these names we know them by today were influenced by the colonial powers that sought to erase them. Who controls the narrative greatly impacts how we treat each other, and that’s a lesson that is evergreen.

Episode 63 - How to Get a Book Published Part One
After a brief discussion of current events and what you can do (call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 to be connected to your Congressional representatives), I delve into a new series about the process of getting my book, Get Well: How the Pandemic and the Wellness Industry Make the Case for Prison Abolition, published. I’m learning as I go, and I thought it would be fun and a good accountability mechanism to share the steps with listeners.
