Season 2: Episode 9: Vocabulary D-I

Peripheries is created for you, by Rachel Dolezal. This podcast focuses on the stories of individuals all over the world who have reached out to Rachel for support and encouragement in the past 7 years - people living on the peripheries of society who don't fit into a scripted box & feel Rachel would understand their pain, since she has experienced so much public shaming and rejection herself. Some of these stories are about being born between cultural categories, while others share an experience of finding a home in a group other than the person's birth category. All of these stories are human beings who want to be loved and supported, who want to experience equal opportunity and social equity.

This podcast affirms the common ground we share as human beings, deserving of compassion & empathy. The content seeks to build bridges of understanding with those in the mainstream who easily fit into cultural categories, while bringing hope and a sense of community to those who are living somewhere in-between boxes of race, culture, religion, or national origin. Many of the contributors ask Rachel, "Am I alone?" or "Is it even worth living?" due to the rejection and isolation they experience by not fitting neatly into a singular box.

The names and personal identifying information have been altered to protect the anonymity of those who have trusted Rachel with their life experiences in confidence. Until the world becomes a little kinder and more fully inclusive, many stories will  remain nameless, and others will be unspoken and unheard. Let's build a welcoming space that is truly inclusive of all people.

Your support of this podcast can maximize the impact of this vision through listening, sharing, reposting, and contributing at the tiered membership levels for patrons. Your participation signals to others that bullying, hate, shaming, and mockery of others are not welcome and that empathy is a value we should nurture in society at large.

Let's grow & evolve on this journey together!
