Liberation in the Borderlands
<p>Melinda opens with a story of losing her luggage on an impromptu trip to Montgomery, Alabama to see the Legacy Museum from Enslavement to Mass Incarceration. Melinda describes the experience of visiting the museum (she suggests taking multiple days to slowly engage with the concept) and what that brought up for her about borderlands. She connects the impact of enslavement to her ancestors in Cape Verde and what that means as a white passing person.</p> <p>She discusses the intentional creation of hierarchy in Cape Verde. She names that she sits at the intersection of oppressed and oppressors. Melinda then shares where she got the concept of borderlands - from a poem “To Live in the Borderlands” by Gloria Anzaldua. Melinda explores this idea of mixed identity and what it means to sit on the borders, rather than pick a side. Liberation exists on the borderlands.</p> <p>Melinda returns to the history of Cape Verde and how the intentional creation of hierarchy including a mixed race impacts culture and identity. She asks how borders can be apart of our liberation and our understanding of how oppression is designed.</p> <p>Melinda connects back to her physical appearance as a place of respite and a battle ground for race and gender.</p>

Minisode: Feelin' It All
<p>Recorded the day after the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, Melinda tells the story of the person who taught her how to breathe and returns to her breath to face the full truth of who we are as a society, and the courage it will take for us to face the violence and lack of care we give to human life. </p> <p>Melinda invites us to welcome our sadness as a teacher and a reminder that when horrific incidents happen, we have to be weary of how much we compartmentalize our lives, and the way it may be desensitizing us from the atrocities we are experiencing everyday. </p> <p><strong>Doodle: </strong>Set a timer and free write following the prompt: I am sad today because...</p> <p>Visit <a href="https://www.ramblesanddoodles.com/">Rambles and Doodles</a> for more information.</p>
