Drum roll, please… we are so excited to share this inspiring conversation with Michelle Cassandra Johnson and Tema Okun. From the very beginning of this podcast, we’ve named Michelle’s work throughout and, of course, our longtime listeners will also recall our early interview with Michelle on episode 5 (linked below). Since that initial conversation, we’ve dreamt of having Michelle back on with her dear friend and colleague, Tema Okun.

You might know Tema’s name from the now-somewhat-famous-in-certain-circles resource, the Characteristics of White Supremacy Culture article (also linked below)—for many, a guiding document outlining the insidious ways white supremacy shows up in our cultural narratives, practices, and norms. Tema’s work has been pivotal, for decades, and recently gained increased attention amidst the BLM uprising of 2020. As many white folks “go back to sleep” in the aftermath of that uprising, Tema’s role as a decades-long facilitator of anti-racism work models something significant: what it looks like for white folks to show up over and over again, over long periods of time, and the practice of centering love, compassion, and humanity in our efforts to challenge and dismantle systemic and cultural racism.

This conversation is an invitation to do just that—to stay in relationship, to understand our roles, and to work across lines of difference to create collective liberation.

Tune in, ya’ll.

Tema and Michelle discuss…

- Visions for the future of this work and reflections on its evolution

- The importance of not leaving anyone behind

- What it looks like for white folks to get out of the way

- Challenging individualism and ego

- The complexities of lineages, legacies, and accreditation in social justice praxis

- Cross-difference relationship

- Boundaries as a form of self and collective-care

…and so much more…

Today’s convo with Abbiola Ballah (she/her) is E V E R Y T H I N G. She’s a true bridge-builder and translator in every sense of the word. And her inclusive action consulting business’s tagline, “Be part of the solution,” says it all.

We’re thrilled to share this conversation with Shannon Hoffman (she/her), educator, collaborator, activator, and now a candidate for Denver City Council!

Shannon’s fire for justice and civic engagement inspired her to run after she witnessed how policies directly impact people — for better and worse.

Her campaign's part of a growing grassroots movement shaking up the status quo in a city where many elected officials have avoided accountability to their communities and allowed harmful policies — like the violent displacement of unhoused folks by police — to continue unchecked.

Tune in to hear us talk about...

How communities can leverage their collective power to get shit done and get us all free

Shannon’s experience running for office while working full-time to bring to life affordable housing, a grocery store, and other much-needed community spaces

Moments during her experiences with abolitionist organizing that led her to consider pursuing public office, even though she’d never thought about it before

Ways she's seen harmful policies and white supremacy culture impact her students

Setting boundaries and practicing self-care… even when you’re super busy disrupting the system

Advice for running for office

We were so honored to be joined by Susanna Barkataki (she/her) for this beautiful conversation, winding through a variety of topics relating to Susanna’s work, her personal path and practice, and so much more. If you’re in the yoga world in any way, you’re likely already familiar with Susanna and her important role and leadership in the larger community as she seeks to challenge dominant paradigms, uplift South Asian teachers and practitioners, and work across difference to truly embody and model what it means to be a co-conspirator.

Tune in to hear us talk about...

- Susanna’s early learning in the realm of activism and social justice

- Her work in continually reconnecting to her own lineage, a connection that has been deeply impacted by colonialism

- The challenges of being a South Asian yoga teacher in a white-dominated industry

- Uplifting colleagues of different identities and partnering across lines of difference to advocate for the changes our larger yoga community needs

- The choice to self-publish her first book, and what that process was like, along with her decision to move towards a more traditional publishing route for her upcoming second book

- How she navigates social media marketing, posting so much content and still finding balance, boundaries, connection, and meaningful relationships on the digital plane
