In our first episode of The Waystation Podcast, we had the opportunity to talk to storyteller, environmental educator, and Milkweed Learning Hub alumni, Ashia Ajani.  Originally from Denver, CO, unceded territory of the Arapahoe, Cheyenne, and Ute peoples, and writing as a queer Black femme, Ashia works to preserve, interrogate and imagine how the Black diaspora has shaped and continues to shape land stewardship in the Western hemisphere. Listen in as we discuss her creative process, the importance of rest, sources of inspiration, and the idea of radical permission. The Waystation Podcast is a component of The Chrysalis Institute.  Please visit www.thechrysalisinstitute.com to learn more.
