1 hr 6 min - "Who Am I? Wrap Up" Part 2
To wrap up the identity series, Lyzeth and Martina spend some time discussing faith, and its impact on the communities it serves, as it correlates to Sherida’s conversation. Listen to how politics has infiltrated the faith community. Politics often has a negative impact on faith, and this video explains why there should clearly be a separation of church and state. The video evolves to how we need to have the tough conversations around dismantling systems to benefit all people. Being at the ground level is not going to get the change we need to see. This change has to be top down!

1 hr 4 min - "Who Am I? Wrap Up" Part 1
In the wrap up, Lyzeth and Martina speak on how much they learned from the women in this dynamic series. Being a child of immigrant parents, Lyzeth resonated with hearing the importance of understanding where you come from in Grace and Sylvia’s stories. Identifies, and sometimes the lack thereof, play a critical role in the lives of POC. White supremacy has tried to negatively shape those identities for POC but we know who we are, and we’re reclaiming our moments in time. It is time for empathy and an acknowledgement of all the wrongdoing in American history.

There are a lot of answers and there is a lot of division within the communities. Listen to Sherida’s approach on faith, and how faith is bigger than walking into a church on Sunday morning!
