  • Diamond Mining with Sedika Mojadidi

    On Episode 5 of Season 2 we get the shot with documentary filmmaker Sedika Mojadidi. In her latest documentary "Facing the Dragon" she follows two professional Afghani women as they navigated the drastic changes happening in their country.  We talk life in the ER, making films about your father, being a woman with a camera, pushing through the sandstorm,  throwing a log on the fire, and having friends who don't let you feel like a loser.

    June is Pride month, a time to celebrate, support and learn more about the LGBTQ+ community. To honor this day, we will be joined by EVRYMAN team members Mike Sagun and Cator Sparks, creating a safe space for straight men to ask about our community.

    Some questions that often arise include:

    How do I support my child who is coming out?

    How can straight guys be better allies?

    Why is Gay Pride an important celebration?

    Where do we find common ground around shame?

    Ever bullied a queer person and want to dig into that experience?
