In this episode, our hosts discuss the challenge so many practitioners have in long, hard, arduous work like changing the world - getting tired of it all.  Some people even ask us how they are supposed to keep up the fight, without even realizing how hard it can be just to be in the space.  
You might call it catharsis, we are just hoping folx will hear something that helps them consider what's really going on in the hearts, minds and bodies of the trainers, educators and facilitators out there.

Have you ever heard the phrase, "all skin folk ain't kinfolk"?  If you have, you probably were in a situation where you understood someone you have something very particular in common with, is not on your team, on your page, or wavelength.  This concept, acutely understood by some Black people, brown people and people of color whose racialized identities cause them to look for solidarity in people who likely have had a similar set of experiences (read: trouble).  What many of us tend to find out, is that skin color, language, economic background and even birthright can sometimes fail our attempts to find community.

In this episode, our hosts discuss why we use the acronym DEI to describe what they do, and whether it makes sense to keep using it - given all the different additions and combinations of letters that connect to the work, like: 
JEDI, DEIB, DEIA, EDI, DHEI etc.
Does your organization have a DEI statement?  Do you know someone in a DEI field?  If so, you might have a few questions for them after this conversation.

In this episode, our hosts discuss the topic of 'DEI tastes'.  What's you're palate for diversity, equity and inclusion?  Are you picky, or do you like to try new things? 
Jamie and Robert talk about how certain people show up in learning spaces doing everything they can not to take on what the practitioners' trying to provide, just like a restaurant patron pushing plates away, even though they paid to be served that meal.
