On this episode, we had the pleasure of talking with Rev. Kim Montenegro! For over a decade Kim has worked as an inspirational facilitator, trainer and lecturer, she is also ordained in the United Methodist Church. Her work emerges from years of self-exploration and academic study. Group dialogue, self-inquiry, reflection and whole body learning by participants are some of the strategies she employs. She invites people to grapple with both  the intellectual and emotional complexities of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Kim identifies as a multiracial African-American woman. Caring about diversity, equity, and  inclusion isn’t just an academic pursuit for her, but a reflection of who she is. She grew up in a  multicultural family in Stockton, California, studied cross-cultural sensitivity in seminary, and has led workshops across the United States. Kim is always looking for coconspirators to build  a more inclusive society.

On this episode, we welcome Nathan Samayo! Nathan is a first year Master of Divinity student at Harvard Divinity School and is currently seeking ordination in the United Church of Christ. He was born in Guahan (known as Guam), and grew up in Tacoma, Washington. Nathan's research interests include comparing the Hebrew Bible Israelite’s themes of culture, identity, and exile to the historic and modern experiences of Indigenous Pacific Islander religions and diasporic traditions, arguing that revisiting Pacific Islander Indigenous heritage, traditions, and creation narratives is the solution to combating environmental catastrophe and American imperialism.

"As I spent time with my Dad, I learned a lot about how it had to do with his experience of being Filipino in the United States. That prompted for me a question of how is it that my Dad could feel so alienated here in a place, the only place, that I ever really grew up in; the place where I learned what love was like, where I experienced wonder, where I experienced friendship, and family, and kinship, and encountered God."

“Things like religion are what we would call, for the most part, ‘solid corner stone objects or definers.’ So, if you come at someone - challenging their religious beliefs in a straight on manner, you will get all of these resistances because if it changes, it changes who you are.”
