Episode 8 – Self-love Special Part 2 with Collaborator Liz Cruz
Writing Alchemy Episode 8 Summary
This episode is a workshop-style collaboration that explores self-love practices with a focus on the experiences and art of people living at the intersections of oppression. In this episode Jessica Littenburg reads her poem “Healing Is” which is about finding tools for dealing with chronic illness, Ryannah Quigley shares her inspirational experiences as a plus-sized trans woman of color working on the film project hashtag body beautiful, and the band Bicycle Face shares two children’s songs which combine fun and silliness with some important messages about self-love. Discussion also delves into using art to push back against oppression, giving ourselves permission, valuing what we are doing, self-compassion, and using ritual as a tool for change.
Poem: “Healing Is” by Jessica Littenberg
Description of #BodyBeautiful: Ryannah Quigley
Songs: “Bearded Lady” and “The Otter Song” by Bicycle Face
Collaborator: Coach and consultant Liz Cruz
